Yep, I'd reckon it'd be a pretty hard sell for those (particularly

The replacement would need to be real cheap.
Every customer is different, but I believe the intent here is to
simplify
the infrastructure and, thus, lower costs. ("Progress.") There are
several probable cost reductions: lower hardware maintenance (no Sysplex
timer hardware), less cabling, less electricity, less floor space, less
labor (at least for physical setup and maintenance), less data center
air
conditioning, less complicated DR.

Less less floor space/electricity/air condition ?
Timothy, c'mon! That's typical sales rep mantra !
Probably you've seen 9037-2. It is in PC desktop size.
I hope, the STP is *significantly* cheaper than 9037. Or maybe there's
special pricing for monoplex users (those, who need STP as ETS only).
