>From the MXG listserv today- I suggest we let Erik know companies ARE interested in a SAS for linux/390 AND that they come up with a fair pricing scheme (i.e., prices based only on the IFL engines where linux/390 runs).
I just spoke to Erik Burgdorf , SAS Marketing Strategy who is trying to get a feel for the market for SAS in IBM Linux or z/VM. If SAS supports this environment, that opens MXG support as well. If your shop is interested in exploring SAS in an IBM Linux environment, please give Erik Burgdorf an email.

Fro our perspective, we do not like being charged more for any software, including SAS when we have to add a processor for workload that is increasing. One of the reasons that SAS is eventually going to have to go away from our shop is that if we get a more powerful box, cost of SAS goes up. We no longer have CA/Mics so there is no compelling reason for us to continue to pay SAS price increases. If SAS on z/Linux was cheaper to run, or priced like the PC version we would go that and access the data via NFS.

Talking to our SAS rep, I get the impression SAS doesn't think there's much of a market for it. -----Original Message----- From: Marcy Cortes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2004 1:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SAS - Is linux/390 an option?

Our company is looking at obtaining servers for a new central SAS environment (replacing aging and scattered older servers). Can SAS run under linux on the mainframe and if so does it perform well? Our local SAS rep says there is no SAS product for linux/390 but I had thought some people are in fact running SAS under linux on the mainframe.
