>From IBM's 4Q 2007 Earnings announcement http://www.ibm.com/investor/4q07/presentation/4q07prepared.pdf
Mark Loughridge, IBM's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Now, this marks the tenth quarter of a long and successful technology cycle for System z. In 2008 we'll move to our next generation mainframe, with announcement and availability in late February. This next generation System z has 50 percent more capacity than the current z9, enables unprecedented levels of workload consolidation and extends mainframe's leadership in energy efficiency, security and resiliency. We expect the first quarter to be a period of product transition, with the real benefit coming in the second quarter.
