What is Pervasive Encryption running z/OS on IBM Z?
- A. Encryption of all types of data on IBM Z
- B. Encryption of data in-flight and at-rest
- C. Encryption of only data at-rest
- D. Encryption of only data in-flight
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
A customer is running a Z14-702 with two zllPs. They started noticing that the zllP utilization during peak hours was averaging about 85% due to a new Java application. After examining RMF, they realized that during these periods, much zllP eligible work was overflowing to the general purpose CPs. causing them to also run over 90% for considerable periods of time.
They have a limited budget for new equipment. After reading about Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), they think they can solve their problem by turning SMT on instead of purchasing either another GP, a zAAP, or a third zllP in order to get more through put.
What must they consider before making the decision to turn on SMT or purchasing another processor?
- A. Adding a third General Purpose processor and a zIIP is the only solution that will eliminate both problems.
- B. Turning on SMT, while providing more zIIP throughput, could affect the zIIP intensive workloads performance negatively.
- C. Adding a zIIP cannot be done because a 702 with two General Purpose CPs can only have two zIIP Processors.
- D. If there is a large amount of Java work, adding a zAAP would substantially reduce the zIIP utilization and free up the zIIPs to handle workloads that are specifically zIIP eligible.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
