The SE server offers the following advantages:
– Cross-system administration with state-of-the-art, browser-based GUI (SE Manager) as
a single point of operation
– Centralized system monitoring of all components
– End-to-end redundancy concept
– Joint service process
– All options for consolidation through virtualization
– SE components and infrastructure are preconfigured and supplied to customers ready
to use
SE servers consequently enable flexible and application-specific implementation which
fulfills high SLAs through the use of high-end components and an end-to-end redundancy
concept, and nevertheless permits cost-effective operation of the overall system with few
resources thanks to its uniformity.
Intel x86-based server systems with their VMware, Linux or Windows system platforms also
profit from the concepts for stable system operation tested on the mainframe:
– Selection of high-quality server components
– Redundant hardware components
– Prepared operating concepts which also include high availability
– Comprehensive tests before release
– Comprehensive service concept.
The management interface which is uniform for all SE servers, the SE Manager, permits a
view of all the system components involved and, from this higher-level perspective, enables
the resources to be optimized through efficient distribution of the application to the systems
which are currently utilized least.
It is possible to combine two SE servers in a management cluster to a management entity
and therefore utilize the advantages of the SE Manager for two SE servers at the same
time. Every Management Unit can be used to control all components of the cluster, thus
enhancing protection against failure. Within an SU Cluster, a live migration can be
performed to migrate BS2000 systems without interruption.
SE servers consequently permit particularly stable system operation which includes not
only the mainframe platforms which have to date been known to be particularly failsafe, but
also other Server Units and the infrastructure and peripherals employed by the SE server.
This can be achieved with fewer resources for administration and system operation than for
separate operation of different IT systems.
