Whether you are thinking about implementing a Parallel Sysplex or have long since joined the club, this session will give you the basics to decide what is the right coupling technology for your system. After a brief overview of sysplex functionality and performance sensitivities, the questions of what kind, how big, how fast, how far and how many will be addressed for coupling facilities and coupling links. Come and find out how to determine what to install and when to upgrade to keep your sysplex running smoothly and performing well. This session was previously presented, but it has been updated with the latest information on Infiniband (PSIB) coupling links and the zEC12.
This session is recommended for zNextGen (zNG) members and those new to the System z platform.
