It is directly based on technology and concepts dating back to the 1960s, with IBM's CP/CMS on the IBM System/360-67 (see article History of CP/CMS for historical details). z/VM runs on IBM's zSeries and System z9 computers. It can be used to support large numbers (thousands) of Linux virtual machines; see Linux on zSeries.
