Creating a Dynamic Infrastructure
IBM’s model for a dynamic infrastucture is designed to help the data center thrive in today's fast-paced world. The model can help your IT systems deliver superior services with agility and speed. The model also addresses the day-to-day operational needs to improve service, reduce cost and manage risk while helping the data center focus on delivering value to the business. System z10 has many of the attributes required for this new model and is seen as a cornerstone of the New Enterprise Data Center, which has been incorporated into the dynamic infrastructure vision.
To meet today's rapidly evolving business climates, the enterprise needs to evaluate all aspects of IT and build a transition plan to realize that vision, in which IT resources are simple, shared, flexible, and aligned with business needs. This requires the support of a large and committed ecosystem that can help in all aspects of this transition: skills, applications, technical support, services and more. The mainframe community ecosystem is strong and growing with a continued investment by more partners delivering increased availability of skills and applications, all backed by IBM resources, services, and programs to address customers' requirements.
