Overall Satisfaction with IBM Z

IBM Z is used by the entire organization to support out mission critical applications.
  • The system is very scalable
  • The system is very reliable
  • The system has great I/O capacity
  • The system is hard to learn, especially the TPF Operating system
  • It has a history of being old technology
  • Not attractive to young developers
  • Management sees it as a very expensive platform compared to others
  • System Z has large fixed costs
High transaction applications are a strong point, high computational workloads are less appropriate
