Unlocking the Art of the Possible in a z17 World
When IBM announced the launch of the z17 in April 2025, the enterprise’s silent engine let out a triumphant roar. Not simply a performance upgrade or even a new set of capabilities, it marked a revolutionary turning point, upending long held assumptions about what is and isn’t possible on this iconic platform: AI can happen on the mainframe; security and agility aren’t at odds; the mainframe is not just a system of record, but a system of real-time intelligence in its own right.
In this 1:1 conversation recorded live at the IBM Innovation Studio in New York City before an intimate audience, Tina Tarquinio, IBM’s Chief Product Officer of IBM Z and LinuxONE, and Lisa Dyer, SVP of Mainframe Services at Ensono, zoom out to explore the big-picture implications of this watershed moment in the mainframe’s trajectory, including:
- What the launch of the z17 really represents for the future of enterprise technology
- Assumptions enterprise leaders need to let go of to truly seize this moment
- How organizations should rethink “modernization” when their most intelligent, secure, and sustainable platform is the one they already have
- The one question C-suite leaders need to ask themselves in light of this shift
And more!
It’s time to start seeing the mainframe as the future of secure, intelligent infrastructure. This inspiring conversation between two mainframe experts will have you thinking bigger and bolder than ever about the potential of your organization’s most business-critical system.
