And it uses standard air cooling and single-phase power, where the original z14 required a three-phase power supply, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the introduction of the ZR1, IBM is also strengthening the platform&#8217;s logical partitioning capabilities with Secure Service Container technology. Pop an app in a Docker container, and you can lock it down so that the only way of accessing its data once the workload is running is through defined APIs, Jollans said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The reason for doing that is one of the major threats to enterprises is insider attack.,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You&#8217;ve got encryption, protection against malware, isolation from other partitions and so on, so it provides a very tight, secure environment for running workloads.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So far, IBM has been running its cloud blockchain workload in that context but is now offering it for use with generic applications. It provides protection from tampering at boot time, and full isolation between workloads for cloud service providers, Jollans said.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the ZR1, which will run IBM&#8217;s z\/OS or Linux, there&#8217;s also the Rockhopper II, a version of the skinny mainframe dedicated to Linux.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is important,&#8221; CIC&#8217;s Murphy said, because &#8220;The concentration on Linux over the last 14 years has seen the majority of sales now specify Linux as their primary OS.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rockhopper II, with up to 30 cores, has 50 percent more capacity and twice the memory of the single-door (but larger than 19-inch) Rockhopper, but in a smaller footprint.<\/p>\n<p>If you still need the raw power of the 170 cores in IBM&#8217;s most powerful mainframe, though, you&#8217;ll need to find the extra floor space for last July&#8217;s z14 or Emperor II.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"nativo-promo nativo-promo-2 tablet desktop smartphone\" id=\"\"\/>\n<div class=\"end-note\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"blx blxParticleendnote blxM2005 blox4_html blxC23909\">Join the Network World communities on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NetworkWorld\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/network-world\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a> to comment on topics that are top of mind.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3268291\/data-center\/ibm-tweaks-z14-mainframe-to-make-it-a-better-fit-for-the-data-centers.html#tk.rss_security\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\nIBM is widening its mainframe range with some narrower models \u2013 ZR1 and Rockhopper II \u2013 that are skinny enough to fit in a standard 19-inch rack, which will answer criticisms of potential customers that the hulking z14 introduced in July 2017 too big to fit in their data centers (see photo above).In addition to new, smaller, packaging for its z14 hardware, IBM is also introducing Secure Service Container technology.
