Wave-NewGen 4 LinuxONE
Powerful CloudStack-Based Solution for KVM Management on LinuxONE
Wave-NewGen for IBM LinuxONE simplifies and accelerates the management and daily administration of highly virtualized Linux server environments
Critical Fix Advisory - Wave for IBM Z
IBM LinuxONE is a powerful and economical platform for highly virtualized large-scale Linux environments.
IBM z/VM is the legacy hypervisor for LinuxONE. This increasingly poses a problem for organizations lacking z/VM skills – skills that are not commonly found, difficult to provision and costly when available.
KVM on the other hand is a modern, opensource, multiplatform hypervisor with much broader adoption and availability of skilled personnel. Many organizations already have KVM skills in house managing virtualized Linux server-farms on non-mainframe platforms.
The LinuxONE ecosystem is a perfect fit for KVM as the hypervisor. Adoption of this powerful platform make sense for organizations. The challenge lies in providing flexible infrastructure management to fully realize the potential of KVM on LinuxONE, integrating it with a variety of essential complementary tools, while providing ongoing support for the ever-changing business needs and server infrastructure configuration. This is a daunting task for an organization to take on in-house.
