Ok, i listened to the announcement too. It does solve a lot of problems.
The issue with "consolidating windows workloads" - this would NOT be
done with emulators on "z", the cost of an intel emulator is so high (as
anyone with a EECS degree should know). So the choice is convert to
Linux, but that was not always possible, now we have the "blade" option
that is still managed.
Same with AIX
I think they are making the z/VM opportunities low key (yes, i did
listen to their pitch). I think the opportunities for this system are
for z/VM, but they still play like they think everything will be z/os
and managed that way. (Does that spell opportunity for a VM software
company?) Or maybe they haven't figured out how to make all this work -
seems easy using z/vm - we already have the GP/IFLs/zaps/ziips in the
same LPAR, seems easy to extend the dispatcher to support some x86 and P
processors.
All very exciting, lots of performance research fun, the more work on a
system, the more important performance, chargeback, operational alerts
and capacity planning become.
The more sophisticated an environment, the more important something like
zPRO is needed.
I like....

The name is a little weird.
Sounds speedy - what do *you* think about it?

So the biggest announcement of the year, i'm on my second pot of coffee,
and there's still only one post about this? Is this a non-event?
