A data-centric infrastructure must always be available with a 99.999% or better availability, have flawless data integrity, and be secured from misuse. It also must be an integrated infrastructure that can support new applications. Finally, it must have integrated capabilities that can provide new mobile capabilities with real-time analytics that are delivered by a secure cloud infrastructure.

IBM z14 ZR1 servers are designed with improved scalability, performance, security, resiliency, availability, and virtualization. The superscalar design allows z14 ZR1 servers to deliver a record level of capacity over the previous IBM Z platforms. In its maximum configuration, z14 ZR1 is powered by up to 30 client characterizable microprocessors (cores) running at 4.5 GHz. This configuration can run more than 29,000 million instructions per second and up to 8 TB of client memory.
