John, As others have stated, it really isn't just DB2 or RDMS's anymore. Encryption and compression can both be offloaded nicely to zIIP's; so our products like CA-Vtape (which has an option to use software compression to compress the CACHE) and CA Tape Encryption (which obviously uses encryption services but also has an option to use software compression before encryption) have seen a large offload of their CPU utilization to zIIP's when available.
As others have mentioned, you need to look at your software inventory and contact the vendors to see which products already exploit the zIIP engines and which products will soon have zIIP exploitation.

Just a quick question. I know that Java work is zAAP eligible. And I know that a lot of DB2 work is zIIP eligible. From what I've read, to be zIIP eligible, the code must run in an "enclave SRB". What other products do that? Unfortunately, our shop is very primitive. No DB2 or other RDMS. 99% of our data is in either VSAM or sequential files. I'm thinking that a zIIP would be useless in our environment.
