Operating Systems

z/OS
While zSeries servers are supported by a multitude of operating systems, their most advanced features are powered by z/OS. z/OS is the foundation for the future of the zSeries, an integral part of the z/Architecture designed and developed to quickly respond to the demanding quality of service requirements for enterprise e-business. z/OS is a new, robust operating system that is based on the new 64-bit z/Architecture. It delivers the highest qualities of service for enterprise transactions and data, and extends these qualities to new applications using the latest software technologies. It provides a highly secure, scalable, high-performance base on which to build and deploy Internet and Java enabled applications, providing a comprehensive and diverse application execution environment. 

OS/390
OS/390, the foundation of the new z/OS, provides high levels of availability, scale and manageability for mission-critical workloads, with such features as Workload Manager and Parallel Sysplex support. OS/390 is an integrated offering of many elements and optional features, including new technologies such as Enterprise Java Beans, XML, and HTML. OS/390 provides the qualities of service needed to meet the demands of global e-business.

Z/VM
z/VM provides a highly flexible test and production environment for enterprises deploying the latest e-business solutions. Built upon the solid VM/ESA base, z/VM helps enterprises meet their growing demands for multi-system server solutions with a broad range of support for operating system environments such as z/OS, OS/390, TPF, VSE/ESA, CMS, Linux for S/390, or Linux for zSeries.

VM
VM/ESA is a high-performance, interactive operating system for IBM S/390 servers. VM/ESA supports today's computing environments by providing a natural infrastructure for network computing, letting you participate in multi-system environments.

VSE
VSE/ESA is a member of the S/390 Operating System family. VSE/ESA and VM/ESA form the basis of S/390's ongoing support for its medium-sized enterprise sector.

LINUX on zSeries
Linux has joined the zSeries family of operating systems bringing a wealth of open source applications, middleware and trained talented developers to help you respond to your business challenges more quickly than ever before.

Linux for zSeries will support the new 64 bit architecture in real and virtual mode on zSeries servers. The Linux code to exploit the 64 bit architecture will be available from the IBM developerWorks web site at a later date. Linux for S/390, currently available on G5, G6 and Multiprise 3000 processors, will be able to execute on zSeries servers in 31 bit mode.
