There's a good chance you're wrong. Exactly *how* you're wrong is a separate matter. :-) Let's assume you're well onboard with the terrific idea of providing more and better z/OS resources to your organization's developers. There are at least three options for more affordable acquisition, in no particular order: * IBM Container Pricing: Application Development & Test Solution * IBM Solution Edition for Application Development and Test * IBM Z Development & Test Environment (ZD&T) These approaches are not mutually exclusive. I'd focus on accomplishing the goal (more resources for developers), examine the choices together with all stakeholders, and pick one or more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z and LinuxONE, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
