All, On our traditional mainframe system, we are running a z/800-001 that is maxed out on CPU. We are trying to figure out ways to relieve this without buying another GP engine, and pay the big software costs.
What I'm wondering is would it be possible, and if so, how smart would it be to try and move our DB2 workload to a Linux/390 server, and then have all the "traditional" mainframe apps access it remotely? Is this a path worth looking at? The reason I ask, is that and IFL bundled with z/VM is pretty cheap, and and I could utilize hipersockets. Waddya all think?
