IBM is widening its mainframe range with some narrower models – ZR1 and Rockhopper II – that are skinny enough to fit in a standard 19-inch rack, which will answer criticisms of potential customers that the hulking z14 introduced in July 2017 too big to fit in their data centers (see photo above). In addition to new, smaller, packaging for its z14 hardware, IBM is also introducing Secure Service Container technology.
