Great summary Robert and very true. In the case of one shop because z/VM was costly and a pain to manage, meaning the Linux folks could not easily use it to provision Linux guests, the project was killed and moved to x86. With IBM now introducing KVM for z I am hoping this will open the door

In our case, we had the zVM expertise, and we automated the Linux image installation down to about 120 seconds between request and log in, and anyone (with the privilege) could do it in one command. So the whole expertise issue was removed at that point. Adding disk was mostly a Dirmaint thing.
