> Don't this year's run a bit better than twice as fast as last years? Well, what's interesting is the suggested dramatic drop in hardware acquisition costs. If it permeates, adding an underutilized z900 to an active Sysplex as online resilience may make more sense than before. There are enough combinations of opportunities to make every user an individual case. $125k per speciality engine has been a joke for over a year. Plus some serious storage performance enhancements. If it all turns out to be free of little unannounced "gotchas" - an IBM speciality of late - then it looks like a good announcement.
