The question at hand is whether the latest generation of zSeries hardware and software have improved the environment for hosting Linux to the point that you could consider it for things you might not have 3 years ago. That [presumably] consists of an evaluation of management, reliability, function, performance, speed, capacity, and any other measurement you consider appropriate. Further, consider the technological advances of the discrete solutions. Are they advancing at the same rate as zSeries? In all areas? In some areas? Does that have any affect on decision-making?
