Fun learning with IBM Z

  
Wow! What an amazing initiative by IBM. We all know the active role played by IBM in society over the years but this is next level. Coming up with a 24 hour Live Session on #IBMZDAY is just breathtaking. Before enrolling for IBM Z Day I was totally deluded that I haven't used an IBM Z, but all thanks to @Shooting Stars Foundation , because it was only through them that I got to know that, I have know IBM Z my entire life. Whether it is withdrawing cash from an ATM or making an online purchase we all have used an IBM Z in some point our life. So for all those people who are new to the IBM Z, here is a summary of what I have learned about IBM Z and IBM Explore.

IBM Z

The Z in IBM Z stands for Zero Downtime and is able to make 1,157,407 transactions in just a second. S390 architecture is used in IBM Z and is so much popular that around 85 out of 100 World Wide Banks use IBM Z on backend.

IBM Z Explore

The IBM Z Explore is a new Learning Platform to learn about IBM Z and is for everyone who is interested in learning more about it. Here we can skill up by completing challenges and earn cool badges to showcase our skills. 

If you are interested and want to get a kick start with your IBM Z learning be a part of the IBM Z Academic Initiative and let's Transform Together!

Thanks to IBM for creating a platform for students to get a hands-on, on such great technology and providing us a platform to gain skills.
