An IBM customer in the distribution sector currently runs 14 applications on their z114 Model A01 server. Their software environment includes z/OS 1.9, CICS TS V3.2, and associated COBOL and FORTRAN language development environments. A third party database is also in use, connected to CICS and currently supported by the solution provider.
The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has expressed a desire to upgrade their mainframe to new IBM Z server technology. The CTO believes the investment they make here would allow the company to ride out this new technology base for many years. Of high interest is the ability to dial up and down server capacity as business needs dictate. The CTO is asking for recommendations from IBM and third party suppliers.
Which of the following recommendations will most completely satisfy the CTO's requirements?
Which of the following is used to consolidate host channels on an IBM z14?
A customer wants to replace two zEC12 processors in different locations with two z14 processors. The customer has the following requirements:

* Run 12 z/OS LPARs on each CPC.
* Encryption requirements:
* Some applications need SSL acceleration.
* EP11 must be supported.
* Pervasive Encryption must be supported.
Which of the following is the minimum hardware needed for each z14 to support the requirements?
A customer purchased a z14 M02 (two drawer) 710 with 1TB of active memory and 2TB of pre-planned memory installed. They are planning for the release of a new product which will require, for several days, additional processor and memory capacity. They have a CIU (Customer Initiated Upgrade) contract already in place.
Utilizing CIU and OOCoD (On Off Capacity On Demand), which of the following options will satisfy the customer's requirement?
