I believe, if memory serves, that they were going to make some sort of official announcement about their product sometime in November, with GA in the 1st quarter of 2009. Note that the Mantissa x86 virtualization engine runs under CMS, so there is no need (or expense) to acquire a Linux on zSeries distribution.

Not a direct answer, but Mantissa is working on x/86 under z/VM. Target release date is 1Q2009. Virtualization rate is estimated to be about 700 images per z/9 engine. You can extrapolate for z/890 or z/10. http://www.mantissa.com/products/UV <snip> Hi List, we have recently been asked to virtualize a windows server under SLES9 Linux running in a z/VM environment. In other words: - A zSeries system running - a z/VM system running - a SLES9 Linux running - a windows (XP server I suppose) My question is: How can I virtualize a server under a z/Linux ? I have tried XEN but have found it only on INTEL platforms. In fact I have read Xen works currently only on x86 platforms and it is being tried on AMD64, IA64 and PPC. So I assume it doesn't work on zLinux. KVM VirtualBox Virtual PC BOCHS QEMU also don't seem to work on z/VM z/Linux platforms. So my question is: do any of you know any way to achieve this "invention" our customer demands from us ? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
