Re: New Z announcement
The very cynical would say it's about We have computers and software to sell you, some of which can arguably be made to sound like it's Big Data-related. The slightly less cynical would say It's about IBM's Big Data on z offerings. The realistic (where that differs from the cynical--let's not go *there*) would say It's the same old, same old.

Re: New Z announcement
Tsk. Sorry 'bout that, must have confused you. I submit that a real answer to his question was hiding in plain sight: it's IBM's Big Data on z initiative.

What the Italians call dietrologia---from dietro, Italian for 'behind', and logia, from logos, Greek for 'word'--- the study of what is 'really' behind manifest content, which all but the naif of course dismiss out of hand, is tedious when it is not sprightly.
