It would be interesting to see the true cost after migrating to the new systems. 20 years ago I remember seeing a comparison which showed going off the main frame was going to save Mega bucks for someone. When you dug into it little things like
1. They had configured a top of the range z/OS box and it ran at 10% The mid range boxes were spec'ed just right. 2. With the mainframe the costs included backing up data, and taking tapes off site etc. The midrange did no backups. And so on... But let's not look at the facts too closely ... the director said "let us look Strategically!" I met people from the company a few years later. They were not happy bunnies - "with z/OS it just worked" they sighed into their beer.
