Hi
I happen to have to review my policies each year and i am interested .
( although i do not have 45 servers eligible to Z/linux but only 25 or so )
Do you have 1 or 2 IFL ? ( we usualy use dev or user acceptance test
machines as backup for DR of our production machine )
Did you include this second IFL in case the first one fails ?
Also you mention comparing 45 servers to a vm machine .
Did you compare using Vmware with Vmotion ( so impressive) software to
compare to z/vm or simply old fashion one server one appl ?
You did not mention the price of these 2 IFL's and its maintenance ?
And last : why do you use several firewalls ?
( i run a 2 sites GDPS for MVS and the distributed systems are clustered
with load balancing and DR plans built in , i have only 2 firewalls with
dual homing indeed ).
Thanks
Bruno
