It is not at odds. It's perfectly consistent with the joint announcement. Hitachi's VOS3/XS runs on Hitachi's AP10000 machines, not on IBM Z machines. IBM is Hitachi's systems partner, and Hitachi's AP10000 machines are based on IBM Z technologies, but they are not IBM Z machines. They are IBM Z technology-based machines. The AP10000 and IBM z14 ZR1 are close cousins, yes, but there are differences. In contrast, historically, yes, VOS3/LS ran on select prior, now discontinued IBM Z models that were equipped with an adaptation. That was quite a while ago; my recollection is that the IBM z9BC was the last IBM machine model able to run Hitachi's VOS3 operating system. I could be off by one model generation, though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE 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
