This document provides information on Entire Net-Work and Entire Net-Work for zIIP, a selectable unit of Entire Net-Work that enables Entire Net-Work to make use of IBM’s zIIP engine.
Entire Net-Work for zIIP enables Entire Net-Work on z/OS to offload part of its workload from the mainframe’s general central processors (GCP) to System z Integrated Information Processors (zIIP).
Offloading work from the GCPs will free up some of their capacity. This helps decrease the total cost of operation (TCO) of the GCPs and makes room for running additional workload on them. Furthermore, the use of Entire Net-Work for zIIP may result in performance benefits by increasing the throughput for certain workloads.
Entire Net-Work for zIIP supports the following Drivers:
CTCA
FCTC
TCPI
TCPX
VTAM
XCF
The SSL and SSLI Drivers do not currently support execution on zIIPs. You should also refer to the Adabas for zIIP documentation.
