hey, Phsiii....thanks for posting that link. But the article is, imho, a load of baloney... "There's a hulking HP Superdome system with a tiny PSI label on it, and this box promises to do much of a mainframe's work for a fraction of the cost."... LOL at that one. In 2004, the cost breakdown for for corporate IT infrastructure had the hardware costs at 18% of the total, with people and software costs totaling 73%. Please tell me how using an HP SuperDome (which aren't exactly cheap themselves), will change this significantly, if it has to run the same software (z/OS, ISV stuff, etc.) and with the same number of people?
