Administrative Information Management Systems

Hardware Configuration

University Technology's Enterprise Systems uses an IBM z9 2096-N02 zSeries processor to support host-based administrative information systems. The 2096-N02's two general purpose processors are rated at a combined 214 MIPS and are dedicated to running IBM's z/OS operating system. The system also utilizes a 480 MIP IFL which is dedicated to running z/VM and Linux.

Additional specs include 16 GB central storage (memory), 8 FICON channels, and 28 ESCON channels. 7 channels are dedicated to bus/tag devices through Optica converters.

Peripherals

Our peripheral direct access storage device (commonly referred to as DASD) consists of a IBM 2105 Model 800 with approximately 3.3 Terabytes of disk storage capacity.

Storage and Output

Tape storage includes IBM 3490-E devices with IDRC compression. Local printing capability consists of three IBM 6500V20's. Remote printing is also available on network printers.

Communication

Communications services are delivered through an IBM OSA card and a CISCO CIP card attached to a CISCO 7206 router.

Availability

System availability for z/Series-based information systems exceeds 99.8 percent annually.
