(In a way that is not job threatening?) <SNIPPAGE> Perhaps what needs to be done is point out that what they are really trying to get away from is the expense of z/OS or z/VSE, etc. But what they really need is the low cost of Linux that runs on z/ARCH with z/VM managing. The end result is RAPID recovery in a BCP (Biz Continuity Plan) test with business processes running and available much quicker. Also, less power consumption, with greater throughput because of the integrated I/O that z/Architecture provides under the covers to an operating system. Just my opinion having been though more than one, "We gotta get off the mainframe" projects (most of which were abysmal failures costing MEGA $$).
