But it's a totally diffrent paradigm, IMHumbleO. In our shop, we have many unixen. But their CP is tied to memory. Each unixen CP has to have xMB memory, and they come in fours. You want more memory? 4 More CP + 4 * xMB. And so on. That's costly. Mainframe is diffrent. Much Diffrent. And the people? For twenty unix boxen, 1 sysprog/admin. Not Gartner, but close to real. Big shops, two - three hundred unix boxen, some maybe 'super-domes', really 30 -35 per seat - tough job, really tough. Close to mainframe? I think totally diffrent.
For Multi-Sysplex MainFrame Production system, how many sysprogs to change a light bulb? I love my job. On 6/9/06, Bob Shannon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

The >mainframes are staying about the same while *ix and Microslop gain.. That may be true in your situation, but certainly not everywhere. Some mainframe shops have stagnated. Others are seeing tremendous growth. Are server MIPS growing faster than mainframe MIPS? Probably, but that doesn't mean mainframes aren't growing.
