Hi Peter The remark to Mark was perhaps to quick off the keyboard , as one big issue I am having at the moment in motivating the possible migration of applications to zSeries Linux is the amount required and then the cost of zSeries memory.
The last calculation we did the license saving's was eaten up by the memory cost .

And then some in other areas, like admin, failover setup etc. To get specific: - we came from Intel some years ago and reduced a farm of 10 two-ways with a total of 38 GB of memory to a z900 with one CP (also used for VM/VSE workload) for z/OS and DB2, and two IFL's with 11 GB of memory. We were on 46C then. Due to our upgrade to ERP2004 / 640 we had to go to a z9-BC T01 subcapacity CP, again 2 IFL and about 22 GB of memory. Response times through all that remained more or less the same. -----------------------------------snip--------------------------------- ------- __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Standard Bank Disclaimer and Confidentiality Note This e-mail, its attachments and any rights attaching hereto are, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the property of Standard Bank Group Limited and/or its subsidiaries ("the Group").
