I do know that one of the persons interviewed who stated that his employer would never use FLEX-ES has got his facts wrong slightly. I know that his employer has contacted resellers of FLEX-ES regarding the purchase of such a system a number of times. However, this was not in the USA.
<quote> He says his employer flatly rules out using FLEX/ES hardwareeven if a customer doesnt qualify for Big Blues smallest mainframe systems. I know my company won't even consider using FLEX/ES, even if we have clients that want a dedicated machine, but don't come anywhere near needing an entry-level z800. </quote> And then again, FLEX-ES is not hardware, unless you count the channel cards! This, along with a number of other articles I see about mainframes is why I take them with a pinch of salt.
