we have the same situation here and we are doing a cpu upgrade from our 2064 because like you said will save us money we are also looking at alternatives to those software products that have such large cost increase's to the new cpu we may be dropping one vendors monitoring software because of it and switching to anothers

I can't say I understand these articles that talk about escalating
mainframe costs.
At my company, we consistently make deals where we end up with better
storage, faster processors, etc and our costs actually go down.
Whereas, our counterparts in open systems consistently see their
hardware, software and support personnel costs go significantly. I
don't know if my boss is just a good negotiator or if everyone sees this
trend. Vendors who have their hand out at every CPU upgrade are
generally shown the door.
Anyone else notice this or are we just unique?
