Frank -- What are you doing for Disaster Recovery now? With current HW and SW you'll be able to provide for DR.
With old applications you were planning to move off you may have problems getting zNALC pricing. zNALC requires non-legacy workloads or JAVA base applications. See IBM's US announcement letter 207-006 from 9Jan2007 and < http://ibm.com/zseries/swprice/znalc.html > for additional information. Evaluate your software pricing options. If sub-capacity Workload License Charges will save money, then each month without sub-capacity charges will cost you money. Good luck! Al -- Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.
