IBM announces z/OS Version 1 Release 11 and z/OS Management Facility Version 1 Release 11

You need to optimize your resources and take advantage of the systems you have installed today. Now more than ever System z and z/OS are the right choice for your infrastructure and workload needs. z/OS V1.11 is:
  • Efficient — The z/OS Management Facility is a new user interface that helps system programmers to more easily manage and administer a mainframe system
  • Trusted — Encryption technologies, centralized security certificates, and foundation for unified enterprise-wide identity, access management, and audit help reduce risk of fraud.
  • Smart — This is a system that learns heuristically from its own environment and is able to anticipate and report on potential issues for predictive analysis.
  • Responsive — Sophisticated communications help improve network recoverability, availability, and reduce complexity and latency of transactions.
  • Accountable — Enhanced measurements can support comprehensive control, analysis, risk management, audit, and compliance plans.
