zPCR - zSeries Processor Capacity ReferenceHere’s a snapshot of the zSeries range
These machines are all available on the broker market and represent great processing value starting at below $500 / MIP. Our zSeries machines all come with IBM MSQ banding. This means that when IBM install the equipment, they will make sure that the systems are in good working order, just as they were when they were when they were packed up at their previous locations. This means no risk to you.
For more information on the zPCR rating have a look at the IBM website. If you have any questions on how the zSeries can fit into your production, test, development, DR or even legacy environment, give our mainframe team a call at Computer Merchants on 1800 777 111.
z890 - 2086-A04
The z890 offers a single model, the A04, and supports a wide performance range from sub uni models up to a 4-way multiprocessor. The z890 offers 7 general purpose CP sizes (1 full performance plus 6 sub uni’s). Each engine size is available in 2-way, 3-way and 4-way multiprocessors. 7 engine sizes across 4 engines gives outstanding capacity granularity over the 28 capacity settings.
