Re: The only reason the S/390 is not doing GANGBUSTERs is MIPs based pricing by the S/390 Software Industry. Add Oracle to that list. The site is down now for maintenance, but go to www.oracle.com, then the Oracle store, and check the prices for X86, risc, and mainframe licenses. (as best as I can recall from memory, and I don't buy for mainframes so I don't pay that much attention to the pricing - if someone has a better recollection, please post) Equivalent are 10 600MHZ Xeons, 10 400MHZ SPARCs, and 1 mainframe mip. So the license fee for a 100 mip mainframe would be the same as for a cluster of 250 quad processor Xeon servers. (30 MHZ from an X86 is called a unit - a RISC MHZ is considered to be as good as 1.5 X86 MHZ and each mainframe mip is rated at 200 units) So Oracle thinks a small IBM S/390 is equal to 1,000 Xeons!
