Ämne: Re: Origins of numeric assignation of z196&  z114

I have seeked but found nothing about this, why the new servers have
been
named z196&   z114 and not Z11 EC&   Z11 BC?


Why not z11? I don't know.
Why 196 and 114? I heard about it:
1xx means FIRST generation (of what? naming convention?)
96 means number of processors inside. Note, you can buy "only" 80 of
them, but it really contains 96 processors, inlcuidng SAPs and spares.
14 is for M10 model (4 are for spares and SAPs).


BTW: I really can't understand "marketing names" like z196, TS1140, or
DS8000. Why don't they use names like Jaguar (ok, it's partially used),
MAGSTAR, T-REX, MtBlanc or Cindy Crawford?

Last, bit not least: Athlon, or Pentium sounds much better than CMOS
11S.

I would then suggest names more like: zEUS, HERA, HERMES, GILGAMESH, etc.  :)

Hera?  What are you talking about???
Here sounds like a mother. What sounds more attractive: Hera or Jennifer Lopez? Or maybe you like z/OS-BX-81673&333 ???

Well, "sexy name" do have different meanings, very different...
