z/VM Platform Update & Linux and VM Program Opening

This session will be the kick-off for the Linux and VM Program for the week.  We will spend a few minutes sharing some basic LVM information for the week and then turn over the session to IBM for the latest z/VM updates.

No time to read official IBM announcement letters and statements of direction? You have the time, but you have questions on what the marketing material means? This fast moving session will survey all the latest news on z/VM. The focus will be on z/VM 6.3, the newest release of z/VM that became available on July 26,2013. z/VM 6.3 brings improvements in scalability, efficiency, and systems management. We will also take a brief look back at z/VM 6.2 in case you missed news on it as well.  We'll point you to other sessions in the week where you can get additional information.
