Greg:
I'm not a member of SHARE, but I would sure like to see that
presentation (or at least the list of "exposures"). Can I get it somewhere?

Make sure you properly secure the HMC. Paul Robichaux (from NewEra Software)
and Barry Schrager (from xBridge Systems, and ACF2 fame) did a presentation at
Share in San Francisco in 2013 titled 'The HMC is a Fantastic Tool But Are You
Making It Secure?' Session 12255. They had found a number of customers who
were using the remote access, but they didn't realize some of the exposures
that remote access introduced.

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.
