We can install these on your existing estate, greatly improving the return on your z investment. Or you can take one of the IBM Solution Editions for System z and we will do the rest, building a new Service Management hub to get value out of your System z infrastructure like never before
While other platforms sometimes appear to have had security “bolted on” as an afterthought, System z has security designed in to every layer from the processor up to the end-user interface. Everything from transparent redundant processing of instructions to preserve absolute integrity of data, to hardware encryption modules, rock solid access control and extensive auditing to virtually eliminate malware and prevent insider threats; System z is the optimum platform to protect your information assets, your reputation and ultimately your bottom line.
It’s no accident then that banks, insurers and retailers have relied on System z for decades, but IBM’s System z Solution Editions have made the platform affordable to all. And with z/VM and Enterprise Linux you can host large virtual server farms on a single System z box, gaining the System z Security benefits along with additional resilience and scalability, all while enjoying software licence and energy cost savings.
System z also makes the ideal security appliance, whether you have a mainframe or not. The IBM System z Solution Edition for Security can enhance your estate with a comprehensive set of rich security solutions designed to address your security needs. These include Encryption and Key Management, Identity and Access Management, Enterprise Fraud Analysis, Secure Virtualisation and Risk Reduction and Compliance.
Putting System z Security to work and simultaneously improving the ROI in your mainframe is a challenge. Tivoli software and Pirean expertise makes all the difference.
