Answer: Homage to our predecessors!


Reasons for Linux on System z Success

Sampling of comments•Out of power because of distributed buildout.•Relatively easy disaster recovery•IT management knows, although won't admit it, that stability is better on the mainframe.•Core or PVU licenses which with regard to IFL's were the lowest cost option for deploying the workload, in our case Websphere MQ.•Better stability and support. Support meaning the people - mainframe attitude about availability.

Sampling of comments•Management was all about getting the most out of their investment, and saw that through Capacity Planning Reports, they were saving significant money on costs by implementing SuSE linux on System z.•With budget constraints of past few years, provisioning of new Intel or VMWare hardware has driven more workload to the "existing" z/VM virtualization, combining that with Oracle DB Licensing costs has been the trend of late.....

Save the organization money

Proximity to z/OS data/apps

Management wants to get more out of our MF investment

Better performance for certain workloads

Energy efficiency

Consolidation of x86 server environment

IT management has a 'mainframe-first‘ mentality

Improved security

Business requires higher SLAs for services


Reasons for Linux on System z Failure

Sampling of comments•Windows is the only real computer system. After all, Bill Gates invented computing when he wrote Windows. VMware discovered virtualization because it really is just for running more Windows servers.•Management keeps saying they are getting rid of the mainframe (zOS & zVSE) but they know they are not going to for many years. They have said this since the 90s.

Sampling of comments•We still have political issues, depending on the architects du jour. The folks using it are very pleased.•Management keeps saying they are getting rid of the mainframe (zOS & zVSE) but they know they are not going to for many years. They have said this since the 90s.

Distributed team outplays us in the political game with upper management

Management is committed to get off the mainframe

Management is no longer investing in the mainframe

3270 interfaces scared away Linux and operational users

Management is concerned about long term hiring of z/VM skilled workers

I'm tired of fighting for the platform

VM platform was not a good technical fit to support target workloads

Non technicalReason indicateWe need to market Better. Use Mainframe50Materials.

Cloud vs System management

In today’s meeting we have a mixture of topics in this space. I believe there is a big difference between systems management and cloud.

Cloud is about control to end users and developers System Management is about IT departments managing systems

Both have goals of optimizing systems and reducing costs.

Companies need to decide when to evolve existing systems and processes to be

more cloud like vs. when to acquire a pre packaged cloud solution.

I believe Timing, Expectations and Qualities of Service will be driving decision.

I hope today’s discuss inspires ideas you can take back to your organization to lead these discussions.
