Alan,
Thankx for your response...from an IBM business perspective this makes sense.
It is interesting to inquire from a customer perspective if customers would be
willing to pay more for an AIX zSeries special purpose engine and for the AIX
license.
For example, what if the IFA cost $250,000 per engine? Would the
architectural benefit and workload management economies incent customers
to pursue AIX on an IFA.
It would be interesting to see what kind of power factor licensing metric IBM
would apply to the AIX license. This would force IBM to put a stake in the
ground regarding tade offs between "unix server" workload performance and
throughput versus "unix on z".
