- Modernizing the Great z/VM Platform
Many attempts have been made to modernize z/VM. The z/VM community finally has something that is easy to use, lightweight, and provides significant function toward that goal. With zPRO we can accomplish many typical systems programming tasks. Managing storage servers, spool, security, shared file systems, virtual networks; taking backups and task scheduling are among the many features that are implemented to make the system programmers job easier, in addition to zPRO's traditional strengths in virtual server management. This session will provide you all the details behind what zPRO can do for you and be a fun and interactive opportunity to get your feedback on ideas to make zPRO even better!
