IBM z15 Key Technical Benefits Question Title * 1. Which of the following is NOT true of IBM Z System Instant Recovery? IBM Z System Instant Recovery is a capability that uses IBM Z System Recovery Boost technologies to minimize the duration and impact of downtime IBM Z System Instant Recovery is new with the IBM z15 and offers more central processor capacity during particular system recovery operations to accelerate OS and services startup or shutdown times IBM Z System Instant Recovery improves memory affinities to allow your z/OS systems to recover faster IBM Z System Instant Recovery can diminish the impact of any event, planned or unplanned, so you can achieve service level excellence with zero increase in IBM software licensing costs Question Title * 2. To empower hybrid and multicloud solutions that are running on the IBM Z platform, what functionality is enabled by the new IBM z/OS Container Extensions (zCX) feature (currently available with z/OS 2.4)? A digital wallet to store “Trusted Data Objects” that controls data usage and data auditability The ability to deploy Linux on IBM Z software components, such as Docker containers in a z/OS system, to run alongside existing z/OS applications and data without requiring a separately provisioned Linux server Container Hosting Foundation feature with IBM Z systems (FC 0104) zIIP engines Question Title * 3. Which of the following is TRUE regarding data compression on the IBM z15? Improved data compression operations are achieved by having one dedicated compression co-processor per processor unit and new hardware instructions New on-chip compression accelerator provides a per chip replacement for the IBM zEnterprise Data Compression (zEDC) Express feature that was on previous IBM Z platforms IBM z15 innovations allow compression with improved performance and simplify management on a processor chip level with minimal CPU costs and without any delays that are associated with I/O requests All of the above Question Title * 4. Which of the following is NOT true of IBM Secure Service Container (SSC)? SSC is an integrated IBM Z appliance that was designed to host most sensitive workloads and applications, acting as a highly protected and secured digital vault SSC enforces security by encrypting the whole stack: memory, network and data (in-flight and at-rest) As it is called a container, SSC is the same as software open-source containers such as Kubernetes or Docker Applications that are running inside the SSC are isolated and protected from outside and inside threats Question Title * 5. What is a key feature of zHyperLink? Exploits new chip configurations to auto-tune channel paths Provides a low latency connection to storage subsystems for faster data retrieval Improves memory affinity and improved LPAR placement Is a directly connected long distance IBM Z I/O feature designed to work with FICON or high-performance FICON SAN infrastructure, which reduces the latency and improves the workload response time Question Title * 6.
