Re: Migration from Mainframe to othre platforms - the othe bell?

Try the following links:

IBM saves $250 million consolidating Linux servers on to mainframes
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/17998

An article to counterbalance all of those "we're moving off of the
mainframe" stories we see posted here.....

http://blog.coleo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/share_session_9230.pdf


It's a large working document. For the Business people, go
to page 24 and on.

z/VM strikes again....:-)

I am full of reports, sent to Management, about completely succesfull
conversions from the "old and expensive" "IBM Mainframe to other
platforms. And, as you may know, the most important argument is that the
Mainframe is very expensive and the same level of processing, with the
same degree of thrust, can be achieved in other platforms with much less
money. Of course, i dont beleive this, or at least i dont think things
to be so simple. So, i want to collect some information to support the
Mainframe side.

Are there somewhere on the web, as a counterpart of all the marketing
flood about getting rid of the Mainframe, stories, reports or analysis
of :

- Conversions (or Consolidations) from other platforms into Mainframes.
- Stories of unsuccessful migrations from Mainframe to other platforms.
- Serious and independant cost analysis between different solutions.
- Serious and independant studies comparing the security level of the
different platforms.


Thanks in advance for your help,
