so what are you saying? those IT managers that cut the mainframe market by 50%+ in few years by migration to WUL platforms didn't know to calculate?
The numbers in the webcast can be explained. There is a high-cost entry level to the mainframe market, which only those who are already there (or are part of sectors like finance) can afford that starting price. my view of the mainframe market is that the maker is a bit problematic. they removed all competition from the hardware market, and you can see they are now doing the same in the software market. So my point is that customers do not want to be captured by a single, Strong and monopolist supplier. There is not to say mainframe is bad. This is a grate technology (even that the new z113 machine implements technology that is implemented in Intel chips for years ;-)). The only thing that I am saying is the play with the rules. and the rules to downsize mainframe budget is to move to Java on the mainframe. this is an internal migration that keeps all mainframe goodies, but cutting the costs to minimum. My recommondation to my customers is stay mainframe, Enjoy the pros, reject the cons by playing in the new rules. use the rules (Java, New workload licensing, DB2 usage with JDBC, etc.) The sad news is that the mainframe is here to stay, it is just us that get old...
