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 - Gerard C.
