Figure 24-2 shows an example of a consolidated server environment that is based on Linux. There are two mainframes: A and B. Mainframe A is an IBM zSeries 900 machine, in which z/VM runs in an LPAR.

The Linux guests and TCP/IP guest are connected by means of virtual HiperSockets, ensuring fast and efficient communication among these guests.
The z/OS and Linux for zSeries ...
