Virtual machines are separated into two major categories, based on their use and degree of correspondence to any real machine. A system virtual machine provides a complete system platform which supports the execution of a complete operating system (OS). In contrast, a process virtual machine is designed to run a single program, which means that it supports a single process. An essential characteristic of a virtual machine is that the software running inside is limited to the resources and abstractions provided by the virtual machine—it cannot break out of its virtual world.

Most Linux on System z configurations take advantage of IBM's z/VM hypervisor. Mainframe characteristics are designed for such business workloads as transaction processing or large database management. Mainframe design emphasizes input/output performance, implemented via channel I/O. Historically, the principle is to offload I/O activities from the CPU as much as possible, and the z/Architecture additionally offloads cryptographic calculations. Mainframes can scale to numerous processors in a single frame, i.e. up to 64 processors in the case of the System z10
