Hi, Thomas. I doubt very much that that information is publicly available anywhere. Actual, hard numbers of this sort are considered proprietary marketing information by IBM, think.
The best you can do, I think, is to poll the members of this list and others like it, e.g., the VM list, and see what they report. Have a good one, too. DJ On 03/14/2016 10:29 AM, Ambros, Thomas wrote:
My searches of the archives are not productive, probably ill formed. Likewise, general internet searches not coming up with much useful. We've asked this question of our IBM account team, in the range of their territory, and are waiting for an answer. I've seen statements at conferences and presentations where we are told "x% of all new zSeries hardware shipped includes IFLs, moreover y% are IFL-only", but that doesn't necessarily reflect production implementations (though one would think it'd be reasonably close). To start to contest the perception that Linux on system Z is a 'one-off', where would one find out for themselves roughly how many shops in North America are running production implementations of Linux on system Z and what proportion of all zSeries sites that might be?
