Server Consolidation Security - Firewall and VPN Solutions for IBM eServers

Tags:
firewalls

Overview Today's on-demand enterprise can gain significant benefits by consolidating servers into their mainframe and midrange systems. Whether an organization uses IBM eServer iSeries model 800s or the IBM eServer zSeries z990, consolidation of servers is now possible, yielding substantial return on investment. Whether it's mainframes or midrange, organizations can reduce administration, infrastructure, and systems costs significantly by running many virtual servers inside a single eServer zSeries or iSeries machine, instead of using tens or hundreds of x86-architecture based PC servers. The conversion to server consolidation, although very beneficial to the on-demand organization, is not without concerns. Traditional mainframes and midrange systems were considered very secure.
