Come on now, haven't you heard the Mainframe is dead? ;)

While I certainly can't speak for entire companies, I'm aware not aware
of any such efforts.

Sounds a little like our Red Hat rep who told our Linux guys yesterday that IBM is likely 
to get rid of z/VM in favor of KVM, because "why would IBM want to support multiple 
virtualization platforms".  This kind of misinformation from reps at these vendors 
sure make it hard to sell mainframe Linux as a solution internally. Simple statements 
like these to the wrong people are nearly irreversibly damaging.

We have been informed by an Oracle rep "that Oracle does not certify its programs on 
any Virtualization Software (to include VMware and zVM.)"
and that "Oracle Support can't assist the customer until the virtualization software 
is removed" and the problem is duplicated.

This strikes me as odd, considering that Oracle is encouraging their z/OS 
customers to move to mainframe Linux.  Does Oracle expect them to run Linux in 
an LPAR, or run unsupported under z/VM?  Or is this guy all wet?
