In the old days of OS/2 based HMC there was a difference in the bandwith
requirement. Now it's irrelevant.
I know no pro's of remote HMC (maybe except backup critical data)
I know some con's:
- HMC is expensive. Much more expensive than regular PC
- you already have some PC on your desktop, so you don't want to have
another one (HMC).
- all your coworkers can have remote access, it does cost nothing except
setup. HMC for everyone sounds less reasonable.
Some additional remarks:
- install some ftp server on your PC. You'll be able to peform some
useful actions like OSA definitions upload. Note: your PC should answer
to PINGs, which isn't default Windows setup.
- for IOCDS import from text file you need to have access from SE to
your ftp server. That's *another* network!
- the same for "Load from ftp" task.

Any reason to prefer one setup over the other?
Local (my office) HMC connected to remote datacenters (50+ miles and 200+ miles)
Remote access (from my office) to an HMC in remote datacenters (50+ miles and
200+ miles)
I’m going to have 2 datacenters (200+ miles apart) in CoLo providers
Closest datacenter will be within 50 miles of the office where I work
Intent is to have only “smart” third party support access to the datacenter
(for racking/cabling/rebooting)
Mainframe activity (IPL/POR) to take place remotely with fallback to “smart”
third party support if needed.
Rack space will be at a premium so they don’t want to waste it on an HMC if
they can avoid it.
Thanks all for your input.
