IBM's z17: New mainframe generation also for AI workloads
Mainframes are generally not considered to be particularly AI-capable. IBM wants to prove this wrong with the new z17.

IBMs z17: Neue Mainframegeneration auch für KI-Workloads
Mainframes gelten allgemein als nicht besonders KI-fähig. Mit dem neuen z17 will IBM den Gegenbeweis antreten.

One of my favorite things about #mainframe hardware development is that it undergoes #earthquake tests.
It's been a while since we've seen new footage, but now we have a new video!
The IBM z17 that announced today undergoing tests under the condition of an 8.3 magnitude earthquake!

I had to dig up a specification for the new IBM z17 and voila, the Redbooks are live today too! They're basically my go-to for all this knowledge: https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/feature/z17
And I have my image-heavy blog post about some of my favorite hardware bits of this new #mainframe drafted up, which I hope to publish in a couple weeks.

A thread in a lot of the #IBMZDay Launch sessions is skills, which is nothing new for the #mainframe space 
But something that is new is clients speaking up about how helpful some of the AI-driven tooling has been in helping get newcomers up to speed. From making documentation easier to find and search, to gaining a firm understanding of data & code architecture. Cool.
But we are still working on traditional training and skills too with the Mainframe Skills Depo! https://www.ibm.com/z/resources/mainframe-skills

Happy IBM z17 launch day

Taking in IBM Z Day Special Edition from the SVL IBM office in the cow part of San Jose where I can celebrate with my colleagues later 
I'm told there will be cake.
Oh wow, a riveting YouTube tutorial on tethering your ancient IBM 3151 terminal to a mainframe—because apparently, it’s 1985 and we all still wear shoulder pads and leg warmers. 
Just what the world needs in 2025: a video more outdated than your grandma's dial-up.

Connecting an IBM 3151 terminal to a mainframe [video]
#IBM rolls out a "new" #mainframe powered by processors that sound like they belong in a 1950s sci-fi movie. 
As it turns out, the future is here! And it runs on the dreams of "opensource compiler work" and a dash of #nostalgia.
