Report: IBM's enterprise storage refresh brings strong new storage technologies to mainframe customers


Johannesburg, 13 Dec 2019

In September 2019, IBM announced new mainframe technology, including the new IBM Z and LinuxONE servers, as well as the next generation of IBM DS8000 enterprise storage systems designed for those platforms.

In October, IBM followed this up with the announcement of new high-end virtual tape libraries for mainframe environments.

This white paper provides a brief overview of the mainframe market, and then turns to a quick analysis of the new IBM mainframe storage announcements, which include solid state disk–based external storage, mainframe tape subsystems, and integrated cloud tiering.
