I really think one of the biggest reasons for not running web applications
on the mainframe is the high software costs. That should be mitigated now
by the zAAP processors, which don't contribute to software costs. Recently,
I attended an MCMG session on using zIIPs and zAAPs, and you can't guarantee
that all of your web serving stuff will run on the zAAP processor, even the
zAAP wasn't running at 100%. Some part of that work will always run on the
regular CPs.

I have read many discussions here on the topic of management is not
exploiting the z/OS to it utmost. It maybe has been relegated to doing its
1990 work and the web is passing it by. I have quite a few theories why
that
is true but I also have some strategies for showing its worth. These have
been applied here and did show results. I do believe it when management
does
not want new projects pointed the way of the mainframe which do Web
Serving, Web Application Servers, JAVA, etc. But one can do some things
which are entirely proper.
