As I said, this is not the time for zBX education. Its history. Re: Regarding IDAA, at the time zBX was first introduced (z196), there was ISAO - IBM Smart Analytics Optimizer. Then they changed name (only a name?), then IDAA arrived. And not, IDAA is NOT an zBX example! It does not use any of zBX specific features. It's more like Dell/HP/AnyVendor LAN-attached appliance.
ISAO did use 'similar' H/W and connectivity as the zBX with System X Blades. IDAA was the follow-on solution using PureData System for Analytics (Netezza Technology). Both SOLUTIONs were (ISAO)/are (IDAA) tightly integrated with System z, z/OS and deep integration with DB2 providing transparency to all applications. IDAA is not just a LAN-attached appliance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
