Here's an overview from today's announcement:
Announcing the new IBM z15 Model T02 -- IBM z15 delivers the cloud our clients want, with the privacy and security they need. Today, April 14th, 2020, IBM Z is announcing the IBM z15 Model T02. The new single frame air cooled IBM z15 Model T02 is designed as the foundation for mission critical workloads in a hybrid multicloud. The IBM z15 Model T02, with a new entry point and lower price, is perfectly aligned for you to have a cloud conversation with all of your clients. Flexibility, responsiveness and cost are fueling the digital transformation and the journey to cloud. Clients need to drive to market faster while addressing cloud security risks and complex migration challenges. Clients need cloud without compromise, they need cloud their way. With IBM Z as part of their hybrid flexible compute, clients can transform their application and data estate with industry-leading levels of data privacy, security and resiliency. They can unleash the power of their developers to build new digital and AI services with predictable and stable cloud pricing. . Cloud native - IBM Z lets clients build new services that are developed anywhere, and deployed anywhere across their cloud with consistent management, orchestration and automation. IBM Z is designed to be an integral part of your client's cloud with containers and Kubernetes on the platform. With Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform clients can "build once, deploy anywhere" across their cloud environment with consistent management, and orchestration using Ansible automation platform. . Encryption everywhere -- IBM Z enables clients to protect their eligible data and ensure privacy by policy wherever their data resides across the cloud. IBM Data Privacy Passports is a data privacy and security enforcement solution with off-platform access revocation. It is designed to protect your client's enterprise and ecosystem's data, regardless of data source, at-rest and in-flight with no performance tradeoffs or application changes. . Cyber resilience -- IBM Z is designed to protect against the impact of cyber attacks by ensuring scalable isolation of workloads, by protecting against insider and external attacks, and ensuring continuous service by mitigating impacts of downtime. Reduce the points of failure in private clouds the impact of planned and unplanned downtime, enabling clients to be back up and running in half the time compared to IBM z14, and catch up on pending workloads, with no increase to IBM software costs. * Flexible compute -- IBM Z is available to businesses of all sizes, from start ups to the largest enterprise. IBM Z provides a flexible approach to deploying compute resources, with the ability to make resources available on demand, to be re-purposed to meet specific requirements, and through on chip acceleration for defined workloads such as cryptography and compression. IBM Storage announcements extend security in compact systems IBM Z is accessible to businesses of all sizes thanks to flexible compute solutions. To keep in sync, the IBM DS8900F and TS7700 families now offer smaller low-cost options to perfectly align with the IBM z15 T02. The entry-level DS8910F model announced last fall, boasts a modest footprint in a rackless configuration that can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. And today, TS7700 is announcing virtual tape capabilities delivered as prepackaged racked solutions or rack mounted configurations, with flexible deployments across standard 19-inch racks. The highly reliable IBM TS7700 and DS8900F are the perfect companion to IBM Z offering encryption everywhere, multiple data replication, backup, and protection capabilities such as IBM HyperSwap and Safeguarded Copy technologies.
