I understand pricing (dis)advantages, which causes that it is cheaper to
use SAS on Intel than on z/OS, or run several "Linux+Oracle" images on
IFL than on several Intel machines.
However I'm curious - WHY ???
Why does SAS Institute allow for "cannibal" competition? Is it good for
them to lose z/OS customer just to get new "Windows" license?
Are they interested in shrinking z/OS market?
From the other hand - why Oracle licenses its database "per core"?
Don't they see IFL is much stronger than Core2Duo? Didn't they see that
comparable cpu power machines from HP and IBM differed significantly in
number of CPUs? Are they interested in favourizing some platforms?
If not, then why the license model does not distinguish CPU models?
Just curious
