Linux on System z, an End-to-End View: From Sizing to Performance Analysis to Capacity Planning

Overview Critical enterprise Linux applications are being deployed in ever increasing numbers on IBM System z and zSeries servers. Sizing the server to support those critical workloads is especially important. Equally important is the on-going capacity planning of z/VM and the Linux workloads. The purpose of this paper is to provide information on sizing tools and provide guidance on sizing and capacity planning for Linux workloads that run on System z. One of the responsibilities of IBM Techline is to perform Linux on System z workload sizing. When presentations about Linux on System z sizing were made, questions were raised about the accuracy of the projections.
