Description
The IBM System z Personal Development Tool (zPDT) is a software-based application tool that provides an affordable application development and demonstration platform for commercially available products on System z. The zPDT enables a virtual System z architecture environment to run in full capacity on Intel platforms.
This new tool can be very useful in supporting:
- Low cost IBM System z platform for ISV application development and testing
- Portable System z platform for training & education of applications and Operating System environments
- Demonstration of the ISV product by having a portable System z application demonstration platform
- Support developers in remote or multiple locations where having personal zPDT system(s) is more efficient and cost effective than dedicating larger server resources
- No need for a dedicated LPAR on existing systems
- Complete control of your own environment without risk to others
The zPDT comes in five system sizes: one (LT1), two (LT2), three (LT3), six (LT6), or eight (LT8) virtual engines and can be enabled as separate uni-processors or as a multi-processor configuration. These virtual engines can be defined as System z general purpose processors, System z Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs), System z Application Assist Processors (zAAPs), and System z Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL).
The IBM zPDT Technology consists of a USB hardware key and the IBM 1090 software. A $450 handling fee will be charged for each order.Purchaser accepts all responsibility for the payment of all import taxes and duties for international shipments.
