What would you like to know ? 
I doubt if the z-server architecture is particularly advanced, but it's
probably on a par with other modern processors. 
I've done system-level development (mostly assembler) for the 370 and 
390 architectures for 10-12 years - ask away. I've done VM, MVS and TPF - 
not much else runs on 390 - except for Linux now.
