Your management has heard all these great stories about how a sysplex will provide the high availability characteristics that the business needs to deliver.  Congratulations! You've been chosen to build them one of those.  So you grab a copy of z/OS MVS Setting Up A Sysplex  and start reading.  But with over 500 pages to digest, it would sure be nice to get some guidance as to how to approach the task.  In this session, we'll explain what a sysplex is and what needs to happen to deliver those highly available business services that your boss expects.  We'll look at the various components of a sysplex and the things that must be done to build a multisystem sysplex.  We'll keep it at a high level since there is so much to cover.  But by the end, you'll understand all the sysplex terminology and you'll have the understanding you need to navigate Setting Up A Sysplex so you can successfully create the sysplex that will meet the needs of your business.-Mark A.
