I have a Large customer, that over the past 18 months has implemented SAP running the application servers on z/Linux and the DB2 on z/OS. The main key points, HA with Parallel Sysplex and WLM. I would be more than happy to speak with you on my experience.

We are in the research and planning stage of a project that will probably
be an SAP implementation with DB2 as the database back-end.
Currently, we run DB2 on AIX, Linux under z/VM, Linux under VMWare, and on
z/OS ( plus a new Win 2008r2 server).
We also run a passel of WebSphere application servers on AIX and Linux
under VMWare.
With that as background, I am looking for input from current SAP shops on
the process of determining the platform for implementing SAP - both the app
server portion and the DB portion.
Why should I choose/avoid Linux on Z for any portion ( I will admit that I
am biased toward Linux on Z ) and is there a benefit from running on DB2
LUW over DB2 z/OS or vice-versa ?
I have a couple of RedBooks but any decent whitepapers, RedBooks,
RedPieces, etc will be gratefully accepted.
Thanks,
