Performance improvements in SSH Tectia Server 6.0.4 for IBM z/OS

The upcoming SSH Tectia Server 6.0.4 for IBM z/OS maintenance release will introduce significant performance improvements on the mainframe.

With new mainframe-specific optimizations and more efficient data transport, CPU utilization can now be cut to a third, when compared to previous SSH Tectia versions on the mainframe, further resulting in direct reductions to operating costs. The reduced CPU utilization and other enhancements also greatly improve file transfer performance, helping SSH Tectia customers to effectively meet their mission critical file transfer windows.

On top of the performance improvements, SSH Tectia Server 6.0.4 for IBM z/OS will also introduce support for z/OS 1.10 and other minor features and bug fixes.

SSH Tectia Server 6.0.4 for IBM z/OS will be released in early February. Read more about SSH Tectia Server on IBM z/OS.
