They used something called Tmaxsoft Openframe. However the news release
from this vendor:
http://www.tmaxsoft.com/news/news/2006_08_02.shtml
Mentions nothing about what type of box it replaced. All it says is that:
"The legacy system had the equivalent of 7000 MIPS of capacity ..."
If it was an IBM mainframe with 7,000 MIPS, why didn't they just say an
IBM mainframe with 7,000 MIPS? Maybe it had the equilvant 7,000 HP
Superdome MIPS?

I wonder what percentage is Software cost. That is what is prohibiting
the MF from dominating as it should med to large companies.

Another interesting story today on SearchDataCenter. This is the biggest

Korean insurer Samsung Life Insurance shut down its IBM zSeries mainframes,
shifting a 7,000 MIPS workload, including loan, contract, and payment
systems to two HP Itanium 2-based Superdomes running HP-UX.
