IBM's new Linux mainframes SEATTLE--At Linuxcon, IBM launched Linuxone, a new pair of IBM mainframes along with Linux and open-source software and services.
which built on the IBM z13 mainframe and its z13 CPU, and its little brother, Rockhopper,
which uses the older z12 processor. IBM's new Linuxone mainframes aren't only powerful,
they're very affordable. IBM claims that Linuxone Emperor is capable of scaling up to 8, 000 virtual machines or tens of thousands of containers and that's more than any other single Linux system.
Linuxone Rockhopper is an entry-level mainframe. It's designed for clients and emerging markets seeking mainframe speed
Its 8-core z13 CPU can run up to 5ghz. On IBM benchmarks, a loaded Linuxone could perform 30-billion Representational State Transfer (RESTFUL) transactions a day using Node. js and Mongodb in Docker containers.
In brief, these are spectacularly speedy systems. IBM also states that the Linuxone are the most secure Linux systems ever with advanced encryption features built into both the hardware and software to help keep customer data and transactions confidential and secure.
This is done with dedicated crypto processors and cards so your company can handle millions of transactions per second securely.
Linuxone isn't just a new use of hardware. IBM has enabled key open source and industry software for Linuxone and IBM z Systems.
This includes Apache Spark, Node. js, Mongodb, Mariadb, Postgresql and Chef. These technologies work seamlessly on the mainframe
just as they do with other platforms, requiring no special skills and with compelling performance advantages.
IBM, in partnership with Marist College and Syracuse University's School of Information Studies will host clouds that provide developers access to a virtual IBM Linuxone at no cost.
IBM will also create a special cloud for independent software providers (ISVS) hosted at IBM sites in Dallas, Beijing,
Ross Mauri, IBM's General manager of z Systems said in a Linuxcon keynote speech, that Linuxone comes with a new financing model.
IBM will work with existing customers who want to move to the new elastic pricing model."
