By Bill Reeder, IBM Sales Team
This presentation will focus on the value proposition for Linux in the business marketplace. We

consolidations that are in production. We will discuss real world objections and issues
regarding cost justification of Linux in a mainframe environment.

10:45am | z/VM Platform Update - z/Architecture Overview and z/VM 64-bit Internals Damian Osisek, IBM z/VM Development
z/VM Platform Update: In the span of two years since its launch in July of 2001, z/VM Version 4
has already seen three releases of new functionality. This session will give you an overview of the latest
capabilities shipped in z/VM 4.3.0. You'll also find out how z/VM V4 is priced differently than VM/ESA or z/VM
V3, offering cost savings for current VM customers and making it easy to deploy Linux with z/VM on your
zSeries processor complex. Hear the latest about z/VM V4 and an overview of announcements since last
year's BayBunch meeting.
z/Architecture Overview and z/VM 64-bit Internals: z/VM operates in a new architectural mode, called z/Architecture, that provides 64-bit real and virtual addressing and arithmetic operations. This presentation gives a brief overview of the
new architecture and explains how VM exploits this architecture to deliver new features and functions.
