We are running Oracle 10.2.0.3 on Linux System Z. 
These were new workloads for Business Intelligence, and Document
Imaging.

Rationale for choosing system Z was; Platform superiority over all
others! Then;

Cost avoidance -
Performance -
Scalability -
Security -
Native support for backup/restore/DR -
Ability to diagnose end to end -
Grid Integration (Agents z, Server Linux Intel) -
Integration with Hipersockets for ZOS interfaces -
Simplified administration -
Ability to virtualize and clone new Oracle instances -
