>depending on the line and with HPE as of today, July 5, 2018. Correct. The HPE NonStop X is the Xeon version. Easy for us IBM old-timers to remember: X = x86. The Itanium Kittson was the last version of IA64, released in 2017. Too bad-Itanium was interesting, just turned out to be the answer to a question nobody asked. And: >I'm surprised that HPE/non-stop hasn't gotten a larger market share. Well, they're also the answer to a question most people haven't asked. Those who have seem mostly to be as committed to the platform as the average IBM Z shop. I've been to some NonStop user group meetings (still often with the "T" in the name, like MATUG - formerly Mid-Atlantic Tandem User Group, now "Technology" instead of "Tandem") and they feel just like mainframe groups: buncha old guys like me sitting around, all have known each other for decades. The only difference was that I had even less idea than usual what they were talking about! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
