This Whitepaper was authored by Nasser Ebrahim, Z Client Architect for IBM. Nasser generated this paper to help DVM users  take a deeper look at the power delivered through the DVM Server. DVM for z/OS is a multi-layered virtualization architecture that facilitates the transformation of unstructured data on Z into a normalized relational format.  Big thank you to Nasser!

Following are some topics covered at varying levels of detail:

• zIIP offload
• Parallel I/O
• MapReduce
• Virtual Parallel Data (cache)
• Workload Management
• Working with multiple DVM Servers
• Db2-Direct
• IMS-Direct
• JDBC performance
• ODBC performance
