I thought that in general the newer the z box, the less power consumption.
Obviously, as in Radoslaw's case, that is not so. I wonder if the power
consumption of the z/10 is higher than the z/9 throughout the entire MSU
range. Obviously, the top end of the range there is no equivelent z/9, as
the z/10 can be much faster. If the z/10 generally consumes more power,
that's not good. Has anyone studied those numbers, and what do they show?
If the z/10 generally uses more power, that would be a good argument for
either staying on the z/9 you already have, or if like lots of shops whose
z/800 or z/890 is out of gas, buying a z/9 instead of a z/10. Of course
that ignores the maintenance costs, which tend to go up for each generation
as it gets older.
I remember IBM used to advertise the MP3000 that we had at P&H Mining as
taking less power than a coffee pot.

Radoslaw,
Did you or someone at your shop talk to IBM about this? What did IBM
say?
About what?
What response should I expect?
I had no promise the power consumption will decrease, the only thing I
could expect was green plastic tube at the doors.
