I keep seeing things like a mailing today, "Mainframes and the Cloud: Made for Each Other". I'm as big a fan of IBM Z as the next guy, but I'm stumped as to what it is about the mainframe that makes it so wonderful for cloud.
What it see: * IBM Z storage is more expensive * Mainframe MIPS are more expensive * I/O bandwidth is not usually the issue (network, but not local) Is this all just hype/hope? Or am I missing something? Inquiring minds. .phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
