I was talking to some of our new hires the other day and none of them had heard 
of SNA, APPLIDs or VTAM.  I prefer to think of this as the evolution of the 
mainframe continuing to preserve investment over time :) 

Still, cloud continues to try and replicate the scalability of Sysplex and 
TCPIP is a significant barrier so consider it more of a port of entry and not 
the whole story.
