I would like to see those TCO studies. Truth is there are a lot of
companies (big ones included) that are moving
off mainframes to reduce the TCO. Those "distributed" systems come in
"very" big iron configurations and are
starting to match mainframes for RAS. Sad but true.
The truth is there are no honest TCO studies. You pay for what is proven
the study.
The other truth is mainframe is *considered* as expensive and obsolete.
Of course people who knows mainframe are *considered* as biased.
The truth is that sometimes good enough is OK, so people do not want to
pay for RAS capabilities.
Last, but definitely not least is the number of new mainframe customers
and customers at all very big secret - why ? ;-)
We all feel/know/observe the number of mainframe sites is shrinking.
We also know that the answer "but the number of MIPS is growing" is
smokescreen - number of MIPS on my desktop grew up significantly, but
the number of PCs remained the same.
