3.9 Parallel Sysplex channels
Parallel Sysplex technology is a highly advanced, clustered, commercial processing system.
It supports high-performance, multisystem, read/write data sharing, enabling the aggregate
capacity of multiple z/OS and OS/390 systems to be applied against common workloads.
The systems in a Parallel Sysplex configuration have all the capabilities of the standard z900
or S/390 system and run the same applications. This allows users to harness the power of
multiple z900 and S/390 systems as if they were a single logical computing system.
The Parallel Sysplex technology represents a synergism between ...
