re: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013j.html#59 Mainframe vs Server - The Debate Continues http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013j.html#60 Mainframe vs Server - The Debate Continues does that mean the mainframe numbers are more or less?? There are TPC benchmarks numbers for all the other IBM platforms. cloud operator mega-datacenter numbers are that a large cloud mega-datacenter has more processing power than the aggregate of all mainframes in the world today and have staff of 60-120 people. The radical reduction in server systems prices and radical improvement in server price/performance has resulted in other costs starting to dominate total mega-datacenter budgets ... as a result they have been on the forefront of green datacenter and reducing all the other datacenter costs. green datacenter posts: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013f.html#28 Reports: IBM may sell x86 server business to Lenovo http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013f.html#38 Reports: IBM may sell x86 server business to Lenovo http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013j.html#24 The cloud is killing traditional hardware and software other mega-datacenter posts: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013.html#16 From build to buy: American Airlines changes modernization course midflight http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013.html#17 Still think the mainframe is going away soon: Think again.
