So it looks like a new z9 BC has a much lower price net, and it's certainly
a fantastically better machine.
And how do you reacon you put that in your attachi case when setting out to
a customer location for doing a demo???
With great difficulty. :-)
Any serious ISV with z9 will connect it to the Internet and set up a VPN
for remote access. Someone with a laptop at a remote location, such as a
customer site, will use either a) the customer's LAN/WAN or b) a
CDMA/EVDO PC card to establish connectivity to the Internet and -- via
VPN tunnel -- to systems back at the "ranch". [I was hanging out with a
friend -- who also happens to be a customer -- after SHARE in Baltimore.
As the day came to a close sitting in his car in a parking lot, I fired
up a TN3270 connection back to our systems and spent a few minutes
demonstrating some "cool" new upcoming functionality. Besides being lots
of fun, it was a good use/example of what's possible with fairly
inexpensive modern technology.]
You certainly do not need to carry a machine running z/OS around with you.
