Of course, you should ignore that [internal IBM] snippet of information and simply contact your BP or IBM mktg rep if you need assistance in sizing zSeries workloads. The answer may come back "no", but if you don't ask for the help, the SIZE390 team will not know that real customer demand for a specifc environment exists. As we all know, what was "strategic" yesterday has no bearing on tomorrow. (If folks only request stuff already on the list, the list will never grow, eh?)
