HiperSockets on System zEC12 – Overview

With HiperSockets you can create multiple independent, integrated virtual networks (LANs) within System z. In this overview presentation you will learn how HipersSockets work and how to best exploit this "network in a box", that offers you lowest latency and highest throughput between your virtual servers on your System z.    How do you adjust HiperSockets to your system's workload characteristics and available resources? How does performance analysis in a virtual network differ from a physical ethernet environment? Do HiperSockets devices represent IP layer devices or MAC layer devices? Which features are exploited by which operating systems? Can I connect zVM virtual machines to a HiperSockets network? Get the answers to these and more and expand your knowledge about virtualized networks!
