<quote> The zBC12 includes a number of performance enhancements over IBM’s previous “midrange” offering, the z114. It uses a faster, 4.2GHz 64-bit z/Architecture processor (an improvement over the z114’s 3.8GHz CPUs), and has twice the maximum memory of the z114 at 498GB. And as far as mainframes go, the zBC12 is priced to move, starting at $75,000—or for lease starting at $1,965 a month. That’s roughly half the cost of buying the equivalent computing power in commodity x86 hardware. </quote> -- This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
