The way I read the announcement it may be a hybrid Linux and z/OS.

System z Solutions Edition for GDPS  (does Linux do GDPS?)
System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Security (RACF?)
Solution Edition series also enhances the existing SAP offering, which
is designed to provide near-continuous availability and data protection
with DB2 for z/OS databases on System z. The solution can now be
combined with SAP application deployments for running Linux on the
System z platform.

Tim, 

I read the press release in your post -- which says that the solution
for BC Card was structured as a System z Solution Edition
http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/28181.wss

Reading through that, I get the impression that this is primarily a
Linux on z/Series solution -- rather than z/OS.  

What percentage of the solution will actually be implemented on z/OS and
with what software?  -- or is this mostly a consolidation of distributed
servers to System z Linux?  

Thanks.
