 +The big feature for AIX V7.2 allows concurrent patching of the entire AIX kernel on the fly—with no interruption to applications. Initially this capability will only be supported for Interim Fixes but it is the foundation for broader concurrent patching in the future.
 +
 +Other capabilities of AIX 7.2 include:
 +
 +Server Based Flash Caching – Transparently use flash drives to cache I/O.
 +Support for POWER7 and later processor-based systems
 +Http protocol support in NIM
 +Openssh added to base operating system installation menus
 +Dynamic System Optimizer included in AIX 7.2 base
 +bos.net.tcp.client repackaged into bos.net.tcp.client.core,​ bos.net.ftp,​ and bos.net.snmp
 +New LVM mirroring policy to exploit flash drives for fast reads
 +There is also a new Technology Level for AIX 7.1, Technology Level 4, which includes a few of the AIX 7.2 enhancements (but not concurrent patching). And in case you missed it, the support life for AIX 7.1 Technology Level 3 was extended last April to 2017.
 +
 +
 +The content for each of these products is similar, except that the AIX 7.2 Enterprise Edition does not include Dynamic System Optimizer (DSO) because DSO is already included in the AIX 7.2 Standard Edition.
 +
 +In addition to the appropriate level of AIX, the new Enterprise Editions include:
 +
 +  * PowerVC
 +  * PowerSC Standard Edition
 +  * AIX Dynamic System Optimizer (for AIX 7.1 EE only)
 +  * Cloud Manager with OpenStack for Power
 +  * IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.3
 +  * IBM BigFix Lifecycle
