Notes:
Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon
considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput
improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.
IBM hardware products are manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts. Regardless, our warranty terms apply.
All customer examples cited or described in this presentation are presented as illustrations of the manner in which some customers have used IBM products and the results they may have achieved. Actual environmental costs and performance
characteristics will vary depending on individual customer configurations and conditions.
This publication was produced in the United States. IBM may not offer the products, services or features discussed in this document in other countries, and the information may be subject to change without notice. Consult your local IBM business
contact for information on the product or services available in your area.
All statements regarding IBM's future direction and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice, and represent goals and objectives only.
Information about non-IBM products is obtained from the manufacturers of those products or their published announcements. IBM has not tested those products and cannot confirm the performance, compatibility, or any other claims related to non-
IBM products. Questions on the capabilities of non-IBM products should be addressed to the suppliers of those products.

This information provides only general descriptions of the types and portions of workloads that are eligible for execution on Specialty Engines (e.g, zIIPs, zAAPs, and IFLs) ("SEs"). IBM authorizes customers to use IBM SE only to execute the
processing of Eligible Workloads of specific Programs expressly authorized by IBM as specified in the “Authorized Use Table for IBM Machines” provided at www.ibm.com/systems/support/machine_warranties/machine_code/aut.html (“AUT”). No
other workload processing is authorized for execution on an SE. IBM offers SE at a lower price than General Processors/Central Processors because customers are authorized to use SEs only to process certain types and/or amounts of workloads as
specified by IBM in the AUT.

1 Hardware service to these IBM or non IBM options may be provided by a 3rd party – but must be able to
manage analysis of power, thermal, air flow and other requirements as listed in the IMPP guide. Training
may be offered via IBM as negotiated.

Model:
The entry server for a trust economy ZR1
• On-chip cryptographic coprocessor performance for 6x1 faster encryption for like modes and data sizes
Pervasive • Crypto Express6S with 2x2 the SSL handshake performance
• No application changes using DFSMS
Encryption
• Protection of database data according to secure policy with z/OS dataset encryption, CF encryption3,
z/VM encrypted hypervisor paging and z/TPF transparent database encryption
• Secure deployment of software appliances including tamper protection with IBM Secure Service Container
z14 and z13 is within 1% of the cycle time ratio between z14 ZR1 and z13s.
IBM Z / ZSP04693 / April 10, 2018 / © 2018 IBM Corporation 2 This performance claim is extrapolated from IBM internal tests comparing SSL handshake throughput rates on z14 with CEX6S to z13 with CEX5S. It is based on the fact that the CEX6S in a z14 ZR1 is the very same device as the CEX6S in a z14, with no difference in 9
components, clock speed, features or anything else that would have an impact on the CEX6S throughput.
