Use System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP)

CA CSM uses IBM System z Application Assist Processors (zAAPs) to help you realize the following benefits:

• Simplify and reduce server infrastructures by integrating Java web applications mission critical data for high performance, reliability, availability, and security.
• Maximize the value of your mainframe investments through increased system productivity by reducing the demands and capacity requirements on general purpose processors which may then be available for reallocation to other mainframe workloads.
• Lower the overall cost of computing for Java technology-based applications, through hardware, software, and maintenance savings.

If you use z/OS V1.11 or later with IBM z Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs) installed, you can also use the zAAP on zIIP capability that brings the same benefits.

Business Value:

CA CSM is an online application that uses System z Application Assist Process (zAAP) to simplify and maximize performance and lower overall cost.
