GS06 – Velocity Software and the Economics of Managing z/VM
The z/VM platform has many costs, one installation even measures the carbon footprint.  Velocity Software does not directly help with carbon footprint, but will indirectly do that by helping to reduce your hardware and software costs, will empower your users avoiding dependencies on systems programmers for menial tasks, and both modernize and reduce the costs of software in demand by systems programmers.  As CTO, Barton will discuss how Velocity Software is constantly evolving to improve the cost effectiveness of the z/VM platforms and associated support for Linux on Z and z/VSE.

Kundenvortrag: SSL unter z/VM
In der Vergangenheit wurde sehr viel über „Pervasive Encryption“, also die Möglichkeiten Verschlüsselung mit Linux-Gastsystemen durchzuführen, berichtet. In diesem Vortrag geht es jedoch um die Implementierung von Verschlüsselungsmöglichkeiten für native z/VM-Dienste des TCPIP-Stacks. Es wird beschrieben, was für die Unterstützung des Crypto-Supports (Hardware und CPACF) erforderlich ist. Die Implementierung wird bespielhaft anhand von TCPIP-Dienste, wie TELNETs, HTTPs, FTPs, SMTPs dargestellt.

Free Software or Open Source Software? Why do you call it Subscription and not License? Are there really so many different licenses? What ist a BoM? Do I have to participate with Open Source Projects? Who can I talk to for enhancements? What if I have a problem? Many of the topics around Open Source are different from classic proprietary software. Let’s have a look at how you can make use of Open Source without running into trouble.

GS15 – High Availability Newly Defined in the Era of Containers and Cloud
With the capabilities of Hybrid Cloud services and solutions the High Availabiltiy concepts need to be redefined due to the fact that the software in a containerized solution with Red Hat OpenShift already includes high availability components. These capabilities need to be mapped to the software and concepts that exist today, especially in a colocation mode with traditional software solutions. The session will outline the capabilities and were Container solutions need special attention for high availability on all levels.

GS16 – IBM Quantum Roadmap and Poznan’s Quantum Journey
  • Latest on IBM Quantum Development Roadmap (speaker: Dr. Voica Radescu, IBM)
Abstract: Bringing quantum computing to the enterprise requires a bold vision backed by science to deliver a roadmap to quantum advantage. Dr. Voica Radescu will take you on a  journey how IBM is executing and measuring progress towards this ultimate goal, with the help of research and industry partners.
  • Quantum Journey with IBM Quantum Systems by PSNC (including Quantum Communication and QKD) (speaker: Konrad Wojciechowski PSNC)
Abstract: Quantum computing promises to revolutionize computation. Even though a practical quantum advantage still remains elusive, technology demonstrates continuous progress. This is also aided by theoretical advances showing us new approaches to using existing noisy machines. It is then important to start the journey early on, so that when a full-scale quantum computer is built, you already have the necessary knowledge and experience to use it and integrate it with classical infrastructure. This session will show how PSNC approaches this subject.
