IBM Puts Mainframe Tools in Smaller Box

摘要

Users hungry for mainframe power but unwilling to shell out the big bucks for it may have a new option in the eServer zSeries 800 line that IBM announced last week. With prices starting at less than $400,000, an entry-level zSeries 800 mainframe costs just one-third the price of an entry-level 64-bit zSeries 900 system while offering much of the same functionality, according to IBM.
