We are in the process of moving an apache webserver with windows to nginx on zLinux.
We use Redis and Memcached already on intel castoff machines. Management is uncomfortable with this situation and wants us to get everything on 24/7 supported hardware. My plan was to buy a 1-u intel server with lots of memory and put both there. But our Z enthusiast says we can put Redis and memcache on Z-Linux (under VM) without any loss of functionality or performance (because we have extra capacity and "paging on Z doesn't cost anything"). Has anybody out there tried to use zLinux for these kinds of in-memory database and caching applications?
