System z No Frills, Just Facts (1 of 2) System z is designed to deliver application availability up to 99.999%, which equates to approximately five minutes of downtime in a year on average. The cost per user over a 5 year period for the mainframe is half of running on distributed PC’s. The mainframe was the first IBM server platform to announce support for Linux and can run over a thousand virtual Linux images on one frame the size of a refrigerator. Linux on the mainframe has already grown to approximately 20% of mainframe capacity shipped. 80% of world’s corporate data resides or originates on mainframes. Since 2000, the mainframe has captured 17 points of market share in the high-end server category according to IDC. 2/3 of business transactions for U.S. retail banks run directly on mainframes.

System z No Frills, Just Facts (2 of 2) There are more than 1300 ISVs running on System z today. More than 275 ISVs sell over 800 Linux applications on System z. Mainframes act as a centralized repository of encryption keys to facilitate security management. Each Crypto Express 2 feature can handle up to 6,000 Secure Sockets Layer handshakes per second, which equates to up to 48,000 SSL handshakes per second with eight of these in a z9 box. 66% of mainframe capacity shipped today comprises of "new workloads" including Linux, WebSphere, SAP and other leading enterprise business applications. The IBM mainframe experienced 28% growth in capacity year over year in Q4 2005, the largest revenue gain for the mainframe since it came roaring back in Q4 1998, with the largest shipment of capacity in history. 25 of the top 25 worldwide banks, 23 of the top 25 U.S. retailers, and 9 of the top 10 global life/health insurance providers run on System z. 64% of Fortune 500 (U.S.), 45% of Fortune 1000 (U.S.), and 71% of Fortune Global 500 are System z clients.
