I've seen occasional list mentions/discussions about mainframe
environmentals (power, cooling, floorspace, weight, etc.). Obviously
these requirements have changed -- declined -- over various machine
generations, but maybe this is still interesting enough for a
Destination z website article.
So this is a preliminary query to gauge how many responses I might get
to specific questions about environmentals. (And don't be limited to
aspects I've mentioned -- note others that come to mind).
There seem to be at least two facets here -- information available from
IBM and elsewhere, and actual experiences.
If you might comment, please let me know -- and if you reply to the
list, please copy me directly so responses aren't buried in list digests.
Responses now won't be for publication; this is just a survey/census to
determine if an article on this topic will work. But when I ask specific
questions, being able to quote and attribute responses will be best. But
if necessary, comments can be anonymized.
Thanks.
