This line designed to offer both mainframe and distributed server technologies in an integrated system. The zEnterprise System consists of three components:[1]
- A zEnterprise server – a choice of the enterprise class mainframes.
- The optional IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension (zBX) – the infrastructure designed to provide logical integration and host IBM WebSphere DataPower Integrated Appliance XI50 for zEnterprise (DataPower XI50z) or general purpose x86 or Power ISA blades.
- And the software management layer, IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager (zManager), which provides a single management view of zEnterprise resources.[2]
