z/OS and zSeries Systems Management functions and solutions are present in zSeries hardware including peripheral boxes like the 2074 and ESCON and FICON directors and also in z/OS base elements, features and independent products from IBM and vendors. In addition z/OS can integrate with end-to-end Tivoli solutions and its advantages in availability, scalability and reliability make z/OS also the premier platform for enterprise managers like Tivoli NetView for OS/390, the only solution in the world which is able to manage about a million objects, like TCP/IP network resources.
z/OS has a worldwide reputation due to its classic strengths. z/OS Systems Management is extending these strengths to achieve a well-managed platform. z/OS Systems Management increases business application availability by reducing complexity, by automation and by providing management functions.
Most of the major business applications in the world run on z/OS because of its dependability. This dependability is the result of a combination of factors: robustness, failure-tolerant design, system integrity and security, instrumentation, and manageability.
To ensure that enterprise work is completed, z/OS provides redundancy in hardware and software to provide alternatives if there are critical hardware or software errors. More importantly, zSeries hardware and software are designed to anticipate errors and deal with them to minimize their effect on the system or workload. z/OS system integrity and security provide the most secure platform in the industry for running business applications and protecting data.
z/OS security services also support the data integrity and privacy needed for network and e-business applications.
