Phil Payne has some interesting comments on the new mainframes being announced tomorrow by IBM. You can read them on his web site at:
http://www.isham-research.co.uk/mainframe_2008.html http://www.isham-research.co.uk/mips_z9.html The disclaimer on the 2nd link is kind of humorous. Now the big question. Is the pricing of the new models going to draw new customers to the mainframe, or drive away more existing ones? Hopefully, we will find out what the pricing is tomorrow.
