renamed to z9 EC in 2Q 06 with z9 BC announcement

Yup. As well as MP3000s, P/390s, etc. I didn't mention them because I
don't consider them direct ancestors of the current machines.

Before asking why, ask whether. Why do you believe that they should have
waited? I don't see the pace of announcements as being unusually rapid.

I agree...
When the PR/SM architect told me about it a few months ago he said it was
to simplify sizing by ensuring ALL configs were already contained within
the 16GB. And he

Also, it means you no longer tie up part of your investment in memory with that
needed for HSA.
So, if you buy 64GB (for example), you have 64GB available for your LPARs.

I agree, the fixed, reserved HSA is great. Much simpler, much easier to
plan -- even if you can't plan.
Tommy, your System z9 will keep operating just fine. There are many reasons
why z9 (and previous) model mainframe owners upgrade, though, and it really
doesn't matter how recently they upgraded
You can upgrade a System z9 EC to a System z10 EC and keep your machine's
serial number. You can order those upgrades now, and they are apparently

Is there another 10% drop in MSUs/MIPS for the z10?
