People with PC-only experience are always astonished when I tell them
about modern mainframe provisioning capabilities. They always assume
when your hard drive fills up you need a new one or when your CPU is too
slow you need a new one. What we do seems like magic to them.
Yes, mainframe capabilities are excellent in this area. From the other
hand they solve problems which exist only in mainframe world: CPU power
adjustment. CPU shortage is bad thing on any platform, but mainframe is
the only one where too much MIPS is not good. Why to downgrade a PC?
The same apply to "specialty" processors.
That is not completely true. Some amount of Unix and even Windows enterprise
software (and not from IBM) is licensed by the capacity on the machine.
Yes, it is PART of the picture. While usually non-mainframe software
does NOT depend on CPU speed (don't confuse with NUMBER of CPUs), there
is other side of the coin.
The other side is you pay for what you use and you get MORE (not
enabled) - just for future upgrades. It is convenient for customer and
for IBM. Other HW vendors don't do it for various reasons.
