You are right, If I can get Redhat to charge me for only 2 IFL's for all my Linux workload and I can run 2 zAAP processors for Websphere I get more bang for the buck.
But If I had to choose between an IFL and a zAAP, I would choose the IFL for the Flexibility.

I don't know the relative costs of an IFL vs. a zAAP. But if they are about the same, I'd prefer an IFL for Linux work to a zAAP for Java Only. Unless, of course, the Linux vendors adopt the "we don't charge for zAAP use" philosopy that the z/OS vendors are _supposed_ to do. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
