 |
|
Folks,
Can anyone explain or post a link to the differences between the two operating systems? A search in this forum did not yield any results. There are many documents on the net that talk about migrating from os/390 to z/os. But I could not get the differences (at a high level and not intricate differences). The link to z/os and os/390 in this sites main page talks a lot about them but I could not find any clear difference between them ( or probably I was too daft to grasp it).
I want to know what is it that z/os has that os/390 does not . ??? What do you lose out on if you do not migrate to z/os?
Cheers...!!! |

Mfjin,
The biggest difference between Z/OS and OS/390 is the addressing .
- Z/OS supports 64bit addressing(OS/390 is 32 bit only). Some of of the benefits of Z/OS are HiperSockets, Intelligent Resource Director, 64-bit real storage support, subcapacity pricing, Managed System Infrastructure, and so much more . . .
- Z/OS has Unicode conversions built in to the hardware. So, Java and other languages that use Unicode run very quickly.
- Applications have had major enhancements. Compilers are better.
- Enhanced for web enabling applications.
- The next version of DB2
