Tommy, As a vendor-representative that has products designed for both platforms I'm not about to recommend one vendor platform over the other but have you had a chance to review IBM's announcement from last week for its DS8700 platform and z/OS DDB feature?
Speaking from the sidelines it would seem that storage vendors are constantly leap-frogging each other with features & performance and customers continuously play off one vendor against another in order to get the best deal for their site.
