(HSBN) plan, is exclusively

The Future of
Mainframe Optimization
Wednesday, May 17 | 10 PT / Noon CT / 1 ET
Key Considerations for
Efficiency and Cost Management
We'll discuss the key mainframe optimization
problems, opportunities and use cases spanning DB2 and network management on z/OS,
as well as new ways to save on your MLC.
You'll also learn:
/ÁHow the latest innovations for zIIP and sort
will save you time and money
/ÁHow workload-centric database optimization changes the game for DB2 and IDMS
/ÁNew options for long-standing network
management and IMS cost and resource
issues

hosted on IBM LinuxONE*
servers because they have
a unique capability to run
blockchain networks as "black
box" appliances. The technology,
called the IBM Secure Service
Container, enables an execution
environment that utilizes
advanced virtualization,
encryption and hashing to
prevent system admin access.
Once the appliance image
is built, OS access into the
appliance isn't possible. Within
the appliance, memory access is
disabled and all disk associated
with the image is encrypted-
even debug data. Root users and
system administrators are unable
to access blockchain contents,
adjust chain code or install
malware when the blockchain
network is installed in a Secure
Service Container.
IBM's z Systems* and
LinuxONE servers already offer
hardware virtualization certified
to the highest commercially
available international
standards: Evaluation Assurance
Level 5. The added protections
provided by Secure Service
Container deliver a level of
security that goes beyond this
and any other current standard.
The z Systems and LinuxONE
protections against abuse extend
to encryption keys as well, as
critical keys are protected by
a tamper-responsive hardware
security module certified to FIPS
140-2 Level 4; again, the highest
commercially available level.

Digital Vault
It's expected that blockchain
networks, built on private
distributed ledger technologies,
will concentrate high degrees
of wealth-making them
ideal targets for attack. To
combat this, IBM early adopter
Everledger is using the HSBN
