HYBRID is now In Vogue

2011-09-15 Thread Jim Marshall 
Has anyone been notified of IBM changing their handles from zSeries or z 
something to Hybrid something. 

I ask this because I just purchased some IBM hardware of various types and my 
z hardware sales person is no longer z.   The person now shows as the 
official IBM title Channel Hybrid Sales Specialist for some FICON stuff I 
bought. 

So may z Software people will now be Hybrid Software Sales although maybe 
this is an unannouced marriage of the Passport Advantage sales team with the z 
Sales Team (oh no).  Maybe it will all be put onto Passport Advantage and no 
need for the z/OS software people (interesting cost savings). 

Now that IBM is going Hybrid in a big way, will z be called Legacy in the 
future?Stay tuned and let me know if anyone hears anything.

Jim, I think 'channel' and 'hybrid' are sales/marketing/supply chain terms, not 
technical terms, in this case.

 Australia today announced a third option on passports for gender - Male,
 Female and X (I kid you not). 

But X represents a female chromosome, and Y is for male. If only they'd 
gone with Z it would have fit right in with this group!   ;-)

Given the zBX sidecar for the z196 and z114,
I think that the term Hybrid is appropriate,
even if it is a bit optimistic.

 Has anyone been notified of IBM changing their handles from zSeries or z 
 something to Hybrid something.

 I ask this because I just purchased some IBM hardware of various types and my 
 z hardware sales person is no longer z.   The
person now shows as the official IBM title Channel Hybrid Sales Specialist 
for some FICON stuff I bought.

 So may z Software people will now be Hybrid Software Sales although maybe 
 this is an unannouced marriage of the Passport
Advantage sales team with the z Sales Team (oh no).  Maybe it will all be put

software people (interesting cost savings).

 Now that IBM is going Hybrid in a big way, will z be called Legacy in the 
 future?Stay tuned and let me know if anyone hears
