When comparing zSeries Linux (assuming z/VM) to other platforms, here are some 10,000ft views.
1) In addition to favorable IFL pricing, theres reduced software charges when licenses are based on number of CPUs, i.e. several test/production systems can share one IFL. 2) No cables or physical interfaces required to network your server farm together. Cables cause 95% of network problems. 3) Simpler disaster recovery specs, planning and exercise. 4) It really is like in that commercial where "someone stole all the servers". :-) Ray Mrohs Energy Information Administration U.S. Department of Energy > -----Original Message----- > From: Levy, Alan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 11:03 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Why Zseries > > << File: ATT102814.txt >> << File: image001.jpg >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
