Has anyone informed this manager that the cost will be going up for all IBM software (OS & Middleware)? Charles S. Kammer -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John McKown Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 7:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: MSU question z800 vs. z9BC I am ashamed to have to ask this at all. We currently have a z9BC. A high manager has found what he considers a great deal on a used z800 that he want to convert back when our lease expires. Anyway, does anybody have a pointer to some authoritive documentation which would relate a z9BC MSU to a z800 MSU? I.e. if we have a 4hr rolling average MSU of 40 on a z9BC, that would roughly translate to ??? MSUs on a z800. We use SCRT for billing, so if the MSUs go up for the equivalent work (as I believe they will), then this deal will be far less desirable. I would say more, but I need to keep my job. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html NOTICE: All information in and attached to the e-mail(s) below may be proprietary, confidential, privileged and otherwise protected from improper or erroneous disclosure.
