DR works with TrueCopy the same way MVS does, and server-less backup is way
beyond anything us MVS guys can dream of.
No need for Hyperswap and its associated performance penalty, because RAID-1
is built into the Logical Volume Manager (something like DFP)if you want
that sort of redundancy (some do).
Systems are usually up for months, and I find that the Solaris, HP-UX and
AIX vendor support can read dumps just as well as the MVS guys.
I will concede that the equivalent of IO Config changes can be a PITA
compared to dynamic HCD, and that Fault Tolerance is not as good as Hot
Pluggable FRU. However in many cases this is managed using failover within
the clustering support, not unlike we do today with Parallel Sysplex.
We are talking TCO here.

If they are indeed doing a better job than what a mainframe can do
regarding the number of support staff, disaster recovery, ease of
maintenance and debuggability, then I would indeed concede the point. Have
you investigated these areas? Or are they just running unix because "it's
cheaper than a mainframe"?
