We are in the process of evaluating a switch to mainframe (z9, in this case) from a distributed architecture for a 3-tier java app. I am interested in your experiences in doing something like this.I've read some of the whitepapers and promo from vendors, but I am interested in hearing more about how things have worked - or didn't - in real-life. With that in mind, I would appreciate hearing about your experiences - good, bad, or indifferent. Obviously, you can respond to the message here. I've also got a blog you can post an anonymous comment to, or just email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Some of my questions are: * Was the performance as good as promised? * Were there quirks with using the ibm jdk compared to Sun's? * Did you have problems with security folks in your organization since you were now consolidating the database and appservers on the same physical machine? * What ended up taking longer time than expected? What were you disappointed in? * Were the savings from such a consolidation warranted? * Was it hard to overcome resistance to "back to mainframe" from the distributed-thinkers? Thanks for your time. em
