My first impression was "technobabble", but perhaps "buzzword bingo" is more accurate. Or should that be "All hat and no steer"? Whether that's because there's no there there or the reporter left something out I can't tell.

So many words, so much... Blowing Snow. I like the first line of the last paragraph, which is a Gartner quote from last year: "The value gained by moving applications from the traditional enterprise platform onto the next 'bright, shiny thing' rarely provides an improvement in the business process or the company's bottom line. A great deal of analysis must be performed and each cost accounted for." LZLabs doesn't appear to be "modernizing" anything, they're emulating z architecture and running it on x86 hardware. Same application software, with an additional layer of "slow me down" sitting between the application and the user. Call me skeptical.
