We've moved IBI's I-Way and WebFocus from z/OS to Linux on zSeries, and
actually got an improvement in performance. (We also moved I-Way and
WebFocus from a Solaris box to Linux on zSeries and got better than 60%
performance improvement. Not germane to your question, but possibly
interesting...)
We've moved a couple of applications from Intel Linux to Linux on zSeries.
We're rejected a few projects because of the lack of vendor support (i.e.
Sybase).
The rest of our load are made up of new projects as opposed to relocating
any workload.
