Low cost Linux Mainframes. That is it. In the last 10 years, against several forecasts, the Mainframes are evolving. They are smaller, they are cheaper, they support Linux, They can concentrate several unixes servers in one box. But still they are running, mostly, over z/OS.The real movement from z/OS to Linux is still slow, so, most of features, related with cloud computing, virtualization and SOA were not really known. But now, IBM just released a new low cost Mainframe (~US$ 220,000) with no z/OS but with Linux (SuSE/RedHat). The idea is to compete with other servers that come with about 16 processors, but with the well-known stability/robustness of Mainframes.
