Gain insight into networking enhancements including virtualization for 10GbE RoCE Express; Multi-VSwitch Link Aggregation (LAG) Support and the all new Shared Memory Communication (SMC) - Direct. Prepare to attend more in depth sessions on these topics. This session is the second  part of a two part sequence. Please consider attending the first session: The new IBM z13s and z13 GA2 Updates Part 1 of 2: Server Structure; z/Architecture and Crypto Enhancements;  Operating System Support; and Implementation Considerations. These sessions assume a reasonable familiarity with previous z Systems servers and operating systems.-Harv Emery-IBM Corporation
