There may be some savings on z/OS software costs with the new hardware
as well. Do you require a full blown z/OS? If you can run z/OS.e,
for instance (it's been renamed recently and I don't recall the new
name), the savings could be quite significant.
The new name of zOSe is NALC (New Application License Charge). I think
that zOSe 1.8 is the last one.

Hello everyone,
I have a question to ask of the group.
I currently have an IBM7060 H75 processor running OS 390 2.10. We are
currently going into our sixth year of a two year phase out of the
mainframe. Since everything is non supported management is looking
into upgrading
the processor to a 2096 R07 (F02) box and operating system to the latest
ZOS version, since it now looks like it would be another two to three
years before can be converted off. If I can come up with a list of
jufitications for upgrading the processor and operating system. The
system then might be taken off the endangered species list.
1. SOX hardware and software compliance. 2. All
software will be vendor supported.
3. Installation of ZVM which would allow us to run LINUX on
the box.
4. All new applications to be considered to on the
platform.
Thanks for any information that I can get.
