• IBM launched the Z17 centralization, a production line designed for computing artificial intelligence, in Tuesday’s announcement. The company said that the units will be generally available on June 18.

• “The latest member of the Z Systems family was designed to run the burden of AI’s prediction, prediction and support for multi -mode applications, Elpida Tzortzatos, an IBM and CTO AI colleague said on IBM Z and Linux One, during a virtual briefing last week. The units are equipped with a high capacity 2 weapons It is prepared for IBM’s Accessor Spy slices, which the company plans to submit later this year.

• As part of the driver, IBM will provide a performance management tool called IBM Z Unite in May and a new version of its Mainframe operating system, Z/OS 3.2, in the third quarter of this year. “This is a fully engineering staple,” said Tina Tercoinho, Vice President and Elderly Product official at IBM Z and Linux One.

Mainframes occupies a pivotal position in digital transformation. Organizations continued to rely on the institution’s workplace to apply basic applications despite the motivation to adopt the cloud.

Z17 arrives after the operation of two years of his predecessor, Z16, which resulted in one of the longest and most consistent Revenue growth periods In the history of the platform, IBM SVP and CFO James Kavanau said last year.

The Z units are operating 70 % of global transactions Through value, including 90 % of credit card transactions, Tarquinio said, based on a survey of more than 2,500 executives of global technology conducted by Oxford Economics at the request of IBM.

“IBM MAINFRAMES holds its value,” said John Chic, ISG Consulting on Central Computing, by CIO Dive Director. “There is Z15s is still under use and is installed as used equipment.”

The large language model techniques added another development to the update plot, as technology leaders consider the potential cost of operating the intensive artificial intelligence applications of the account in the cloud. Four out of 5 respondents in Oxford’s economy poll that the central tires were a major part of artificial intelligence plans.

The safety and privacy of the data also shed positive light on Mainfrry devices. To support the elasticity of Z, IBM has built a safe quantity algorithm in Z17.

In the previous period, the company took advantage of its customer base for more than 2000 hours of test operations and conducted discovery workshops with more than 150 customers, according to Tarquinio.
