Yes I would be interested in the assessment.

I just got off of a contract with Oracle and have moved their data bases to zLinux because they will no longer support Oracle beyond V10gR2. In other words, Oracle on the legacy systems are supported with a lifetime support clause, but will not be upgraded with new features. So I have moved Oracle Data Bases to zLinux for the newer features, V11 and RAC. Additionally, I have also consolidated servers to move the Oracle data bases to zLinux. Would you be interested in an assessment ? Regards Danny Padilla - Solution Architect.

The question comes about because.... My management is hearing that when people move servers over to the Z under Linux they are mostly moving servers that have very little usage already and that databases like Oracle are staying put on the other platforms such as Solaris in my case, giving them the impression that the z/Linux cannot handle this. I know there are some situations where this may be true but I do not believe on a whole this is necessarily true. What do you think! Thanks, Terry
