# zIIP Support

zIIP support by the Event Replicator for Adabas, is a feature that enables the Event Replicator Server on z/OS to offload part of its workload from the mainframe’s general processors (GP) to System z Integrated Information Processors (zIIP).

Offloading work from the general processors will free up some of their capacity. This helps decrease the total cost of operation (TCO) of the GPs and makes room for running additional workload on them.
