"This IBM Redbooks publication introduces the IBM System z10 Business Class (z10 BC) server, which is based on z/Architecture and inherits many of the improvements made with the previously introduced System z10 Enterprise Class (z10 EC) server. With a focus on midrange enterprise computing, the z10 BC server delivers an entry point with very granular scalability and an unprecedented range of capacity settings to grow with the workload. It delivers unparalleled qualities of service to help manage growth and reduce cost and risk. This book is intended for systems engineers, hardware planners, and anyone wanting to understand the System z10 Business Class functions and plan for their usage. It is not intended as an introduction to mainframes. Readers are expected to be generally familiar with existing System z technology and terminology."--Resource description page
