I find some of the reasoning in this thread very interesting. We are in the middle of moving a lot of our Oracle out of AIX and SUN to zVM/Linux. This was done to improve RAS and to reduce Oracle-batch turn-around time. We use RAC not only to improve availability but also to separate batch from on-line processing. We are now contemplating Oracle under zOS (we have DB2) for those applications that require even better availability. When you think about it, zOS is rock solid compared to Linux. SOA, which is being pursued by our developers, has not come up as a reason not to move to zOS. I am going to ask the question.
