We have been using it since 2002 as both a file server and a print server
starting on a 9672 and a z800 in production.

Subject: zSeries Linux - How Many Users?

 


Does anyone happen to know a ballpark figure of how many companies are using
zSeries Linux?? 
  
My reason for asking is I am working on trying to convince the management
here that we could 
save tons of money by consolidating a lot of the easier workloads (ie- print
servers) to zSeries 
Linux.  One of the things I get back is "no one is doing it", although I
have to think there is a lot 
of it being used, especially with todays economy as it is. 
  
I think IBM has not done a very good job of promoting zSeries Linux,
although from a marketing 
standpoint they undoubtedly make more money with a room full of p-boxes than
one or two z-boxes 
running the same workload. 
  
Thanks, 
Paul Adrian.
