OS/390 and z/OS TCP/IP in the Parallel Sysplex Environment —Blurring the Boundaries (PDF, 176KB)
Discover how TCP/IP support for the Parallel Sysplex provides high availability for the TCP/IP stack and TCP/IP applications. Focus areas include VIPA (Virtual IP Address), load balancing, use of XCF among TCP/IP stacks, and TCP/IP enhancements that can leverage the Parallel Sysplex environment.
Many applications could leverage Dynamic VIPAs and Sysplex Distributor. This white paper gives examples of five IBM middleware products which leverage Dynamic VIPAs and Sysplex Distributor, or which may be deployed with these functions for enhanced availability and workload balancing.
