I think it depends. Depends on the model, IBMs intention, other models 
availability, hardware model, etc.


What is worth to mention is the price. The older equipment, the higher 
price. It can cause new model purchase more effective, especially when 
combined with upgrade prices (also growing up).
So, the question could be: how long it is reasonable to buy maintenance 
from IBM.

AFAICT this has not yet been announced Using history as a guide, I would
expect 1 1/2 - two years. z/9 should have 3-5.
Of course, Big Blue may have a different opinion.

HTH,

Any idea when IBM planning to withdraw z9 BC from the marketing
and will be
out of support .. ?
