My English is poor, do you mean every company makes zBX or every
company makes errors? ;-)))

The IBM 360 mainframe was designed to process data from other machines
and distribute to them. Punch cards, Printers, card to tape machines,
RJE machines, 3270 screens / printers. The PC with 3270 emulator (and
now browser) replaced an I/O device, but also became a storage / user
processing

Customers do not need ensembles. From customer point of view zBX is just
rack with servers, but

As I said, this is not the time for zBX education. Its history.
Re: Regarding IDAA, at the time zBX was first introduced (z196), there was
ISAO - IBM Smart Analytics Optimizer. Then they changed name (only a
name?), then IDAA arrived.
And not, IDAA

I believe zBX suffered from being too little, too late - if it had been
released a decade earlier, it might have been a killer. It was also a fairly
narrow solution in terms of what was available to run on it.
I also understand that it was dependent on specific hardware (blades), which
IBM did
zBX was withdrawn from marketing on March 31, 2017. However, if you have a zBX
Model 004 and the z14 has the Ensemble feature code 0025, the zBX can be in the
same Ensemble as the z14. Remember, the zBX Model 004 is a standalone node and
not 'tied' to a CPC e.g. z13/z13s/z14
More likely, no changes needed for zBx.
I haven't seen any information regarding zBX for z14 machine.
Does it mean IBM (quietly) closed the idea of zBX?
