I did some digging and came up with this from Martin Schwidefsky's Orlando presentation "What's New in Linux on IBM z Systems": - 26.7% of Total installed MIPS run Linux as of 2Q15 - Installed IFL MIPS increased 16% from 2Q14 to 2Q15 - 39% of z Systems clients have IFL*s installed as of 1Q15 - 79 of the top 100 z Systems clients are running Linux on the mainframe as of 2Q15 ** - 35% of all z Systems servers have IFLs* - 67% of new FIE/FIC z Systems accounts run Linux * Based on YE 2003 to YE 2014 **Top 100 is based on total installed MIPS The whole presentation is available at https://share.confex.com/share/125/webprogramschedule/Handout/Session17674/share-orlando-2015-whats-new.pdf You may need to create a no-cost login ID to access it.
