------------------------------------------------------------------ Compuware is hosting a webcast with renowned expert in technology economics, Dr. Howard Rubin. Dr. Rubin will be presenting his most recent findings on the growing consumption of technology and its impact on core infrastructure costs. His research compares the resulting costs for a mainframe-heavy organization to a server-heavy organization. Title: The Surprising Economics of Mainframe Technology Date: March 19 Time: 11:00 a.m. ET Duration: 60 minutes Register at https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=reg20.jsp&eventid=960452&sessionid=1&key=0EAD94B1BD32920176D84E6EE6328422&sourcepage=register&partnerref=mvslist or http://preview.tinyurl.com/lxjxg5p On the webcast, he will be speaking to the following findings: o While computing power has doubled over the last five years, server-heavy organizations’ costs have gone up 63% more than mainframe-heavy organizations. o For every $1 that’s spent on infrastructure costs, Mainframe organizations earn $10.55 while server-heavy organizations earn only $8.22. o Analysis across 15 industries shows that the average IT cost of goods is 35% (on average) less for mainframe-heavy organizations, with the greatest differences in the financial sector. Dr. Rubin will be joined by two industry thought-leaders, Ross Mauri, General Manager, IBM z Systems and Chris O’Malley, CEO of Compuware. Ross will answer questions about mainframe misperceptions and the new capabilities of the z13, while Chris will discuss how increasing technical demand on the mainframe is impacting IT and the entire business. ------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dave Jones V/Soft Software www.vsoft-software.com Houston, TX 281.578.7544 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
