Business innovation is about transforming business processes, technologies, products and services to enable growth and gain competitive edge. In facilitating innovation, successful organizations examine their existing business model and the IT infrastructure required to support it. Typically there is a mix of technology—each designed to provide the best support for each workload and/or business process. Being heterogeneous makes sense, as long as there are no issues with management and integration. The IBM zEnterprise® System (zEnterprise) offers a proven hybrid computing design that can help you manage and integrate workloads on multiple architectures with the simplicity of a single system.

The newest member of the zEnterprise family is the zEnterprise EC12 (zEC12), designed to deliver new levels of performance and capacity for large scale consolidation and growth, support for the next generation of digital signature security support, cutting edge pattern recognition analytics for smart monitoring of system health, and new environmental capabilities such as the new non raised floor option. In addition, the zEC12 supports heterogeneous platform requirements with the new IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter® Extension (zBX) Model 003 and IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager for extending management strengths to other systems and workloads running on AIX® on POWER7®, Linux on IBM System x® and Microsoft Windows on IBM System x servers.
