> It looks like we are almost to the point of implementing

> a new concept for the network/security/sysadmin types.
> They are used to a physical tangible box that you can put
> in a close and lock the door.

> There is some concern expressed by these people about
> information `leakage' between virtual machines.  My boss
> has proposed separate lpars instead to `harden the walls'.
> I desperately want to talk him out of this course of action.
>
> What I need is some published verbiage discussing the
> `boundaries' between virtual machines and citations (if
> any) where multiple lpars running z/vm) are preferable
> over a a single lpar running z/vm (disregarding any
> performance aspects).
