m PPRC is not used for data sharing, rather for data redundancy -- changed reference to coupling facilities.
Line 1:
In computing, a '''Parallel [[Sysplex]]''' is a [[computer cluster|cluster]] of [[IBM mainframe]]s acting together in a single system image, usually with [[z/OS]]. A Parallel Sysplex combines data sharing (typicallysame usingdisk [[Peerunder tocontrol Peerof Remotesharing Copy]]structures in a Coupling Facility) and [[parallel computing]] to allow a cluster of up to 32 computers to share a workload for [[high performance computing|high performance]] and [[high availability]]. Parallel Sysplex provides [[horizontal scaling]].
 
The forerunner to Parallel Sysplex was '''Virtual Coupling''', a technique which allowed up to 12 [[IBM 390]] systems to execute jobs in parallel. The true Parallel Sysplex was introduced with then-new mainframe models in April [[1994]]<ref>http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg244356.pdf System/390 Parallel Sysplex Performance - IBM Redbook. Retrieved 17-09-2007.</ref>. IBM continues to improve and enhance Parallel Sysplex.
