We probably will be getting off the mainframe in the next 3-5 years (management thinks hopefully) and will be going to Oracle Database running on Unix server. ::&We have about 1,000 transactions. We have 1 mainframe running on flex-es mainframe. We bill customers for their utility bill. Customers then either mail in or come in to office to pay bill. We also have bank drafts, web bank draft, and credit card payments. We do our own inventory, and payroll on the mainframe. We do have a separate total mapping system using oracle that resides on unix server. We have a customer base of about 175000 customers. We are a monopoly for our county.::&We have 175,000 transactions per day running on the same mainframe. The payroll of 550 personnel is done in house. We bill customers for their utility - water gas electric garbage sewer outdoor lights. The 175,000 customers can see their bills online. All this processing of agreements, bad debts, bank drafts, meter readings, sets, removes, cutoffs is done on a 8 MIP machine. A surprising feat. We have just 5 programmers and 1 system programmer with response time of average less than .1 seconds. ::&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&We do not do this ROI. The mainframe just serves the entire company. We have very little down time. We are down 1 hour per day for backups and 1 hour on weekends for setting up ceratin large files.::&The quick response time - less than .1 seconds. The quick setup of new programs and their easy way of confirming updates. The screens might still be green screens with no pictures but the small staff surely gets a lot of work done. We are a mean streak type of company. ::&We went to IVR and this telephone system has really helped out our telephone operators. Also using 8 MIP machine still keeps us with no IBM maintenance. We have had other utilities twice our size stating that they would love many of the programs that we have written and that are very well tailored to our system.::&VSE/ESA is a really quick operating system. VSAM response time is real good.::&not familiar::&Actually flex-es and DELL server with swappable disk drives has been the main thing that has crossed our desks. We have had a couple of times the disks have failed and the system keeps right on going. We took out the disabled disk, reconfigured, and everything is fine again with no down time.::&?0?1?2::rashley@hsvutil.org&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&<<>>

The direct and indirect cost of the care and feeding of our zSeries platform(s) are almost all of our expenses. We really do not use any ROI formula any more than a carpenter computes the ROI of his hammer. As I said earlier, we are probably not your typical mainframe shop. But, it is our uniqueness that shows the power of the small zSeries platform and the range and scalability of the zSeries platform.::&Aside from, "Its our business." the winning argument for zSeries has almost always been RAS [Reliability, Availabilty and Serviceability]. Hmmm... My 32 years at IBM is showing through my 12 years as an independent consultant.::&Our original mainframe [a P/390 Server 500] was housed in the basement of one of our founders. He lived in Kansas City, the rest of us live in Cincinnati, Orlando and Chicago. Unfortunately, he was killed in an automobile accident. We did not have hands-on access to the system for almost TEN MONTHS! All we had was remote access via a TSO dial-back arrangement during that time. But, the system just kept running and running and running. The only thing that took it down was a power outage of over 12 hours that outlived the UPS. Then we had to find a way to get into the system to bring it back up.::&Keep it relevant to its customers! And, recognize that tiny ISVs such as we are provide value to its customers in ways that IBM does not, in some ways, cannot... But, I could write a book on this whole question of mainframe relevance. Almost 44 years in the mainframe business provides a different perspective on the world from most of the self-proclaimed gurus.::&Heard of, but never got into all the specifics.::&Somewhat mentioned earlier: The mainframes availabilty and scalabiltiy are as significant as the huge numbers of users of zSeries. We are three people, running two copies of z/OS under z/VM on a system the size of most desktop PCs. This, to me at least, is a significant and unique aspect of the mainframe. In reality, it requires less care and feeding than most Windows PCs. [Of course, I cant speak directly to that since we do not use Windoze, but are dedicated OS/2 users who will probably be forced to Linux one of these years.] Again, if my perspective is of interest, feel free to call.::&?0?1?2::cgehr@edge-information.com&?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?10?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?xxx?xxx?3?xxx?xxx::&&&&&&&?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?5?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?21?xxx?xxx::&&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&&100% internal. one very, very small mainframe, actually the smallest xseries running flex-es with z/os 1.1, 1.5, z/vm. ::&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?xxx?xxx?3::&&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?xxx?2?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?1?2?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?1?xxx::<<>>Not Scored by Definition

Value derived from peace-of-mind that it will be running and available 99.999% of the time ??? Value in knowing it wont be successfully assaulted by a virus ??? Value in trusting its security model to the point of allowing most any user to do just about anything they want to without jeapordizing the stability and function of the system ??? Value in building new capability integrated with legacy functions on one platform ??? Value of projecting an image of stability and trustworthiness to our customers because our systems are available to support their needs 24X7 ???::&Approximately 850,000 transactions per day. Sometimes a lot more. Sometimes a little less. We have one mainframe - z800. There are a few applications central to our business - a securities valuation application that calculates pricing information for our funds - a shareholder accounting system - and a few commission calculation and distribution systems.::&Our systems support both internal and external customers. Most of the systems that support employee functions and business expense functions run on smaller non-mainframe servers. We have approximately 2000 employees and about 3 million customers. That doesnt count customers of customers, and I have no idea how to even guess at a number for those.::&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::1 zSeries 800, no IFL (yet), not capable of zAAP. Working on LINUXX LPARs now which may lead to an IFL or two. 100% dedicated to external customer support applications.&I dont. If I were to attempt to quantify it, I would struggle with semantics. What value do you place on trust ??? What value do you place on reliability and stability ???::&I quit calling it a mainframe. I call it a zSeries server. I generally dont argue for or against a particular platform. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. If there is a function that seems like it would fit well on the mainframe, I recommend it. Otherwise, I recommend a more suitable platform.::&Our upgrade to a z800 from a 9672 increased capacity while maintaining stable maintenance costs. A subsequent upgrade to FICON increased throughput which effectively increases capacity. Carving out a new LPAR for a business partner to support their DR needs reduces their costs with their recovery vendor and helps us move towards a cooperative between our companies that will eventually eliminate the need for a recovery vendor for both companies. Were early in evaluating LINUX. Not sure if theres a consolidation opportunity there that would make LINUX cost effective for us on the zSeries server.::&Expanded capability. LINUX, web services, JAVA (yuk). This support is going to allow us huge opportunities to integrate and grow our legacy systems. We just need the right people to realize that.::&Somewhat familiar. My impression of the recent releases of z/OS is Innovative, so they pass. Value is harder to nail down, but I think overall, the zSeries is a good value. But if you want to take advantage of any of the newer capabilities, plan to spend more than its worth. My biggest complaint about IBM is cost. Everything costs a lot of money. You cant even get training for a reasonable cost. Pricing developers away from the platform will doom it in the end. IBMs recent return to universities is a good step, but too little and maybe too late. I want to be able to learn and develop and test on a machine that I can afford at home. I think this falls into the Community segment, but their definition of "community" is different than mine.::&::&?0?1?2::dgkopischke@oppenheimerfunds.com&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?xxx?2?xxx?xxx?xxx::&&&?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?5?6?7?xxx?9?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?4?5?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&&?xxx?xxx?xxx?3?xxx::&?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?14?xxx?xxx?17?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?xxx?2?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?4::&1 zseries 800, no ifl (yet), not capable of zaap. working on linuxx lpars now which may lead to an ifl or two. 100% dedicated to external customer support applications.::&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?xxx?xxx?3::&&?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?4?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?1?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?9?10?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?1?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?xxx?1?xxx::<<>>Not Scored by Definition

We have a few new OLTP applications that werent running a year ago, but weve been running OLTP applications in general for years. Same is true for Application Development and Security.&?xxx?xxx?xxx?3?xxx?xxx?6?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::Same as the previous question, we have had an application or two move off the mainframe, but overall were still running many OLTP applications there and doing lots of application development there.&A variety of reasons. Primarily, because we bought a vendor app to replace one written in-house years ago, and the vendor app doesnt run on the mainframe. Additionally, there is a strong anti-mainframe bias amongst developers, who have a lot of say in where they think a new application should reside.::&Unix, Linux, Windows.::&The ability to pump nightly batch through every night, and the ability to server our busiest delivery channels with minimal performance problems.::&We support about 10 million transactions per day for external customers. We have two mainframes supporting this load. This is all financial transactions - checking, savings, debit card, credit card, investment accounts, coming from all channels -web banking, ATM, banking office, etc. We server about 3 million customers.::&On the internal side, we are in the 100,000 transaction per day range. The same two mainframes that support external customers also support internal customers. We are serving 10,000 customers per day, for a large variety of transaction types.::&?xxx?1?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&We dont have a good formal process to show the value. Those of us the work closely with the mainframe produce regular reports to show the massive number of transactions that are efficiently pumped through it. We publicize those as much as possible.::&Reliability and performance. Its always up, and it always supports the workload.::&We recently instituted a Business Online Banking product. The data resides on the mainframe (in DB2), and is accessed via Java distributed transactions. Certain groups expected the data to reside in Unix/Oracle, just because thats how it is with Java applications. Our argument was the reliability and performance of the database was too critical for it not to run on the mainframe. The product has been wildly successful since its MAY launch, having reached the DECEMBER goal for subscribers by the end of JUNE.::&Thats a tough one. Overall theyve built awareness that mainframes arent dead, which makes it easier for us to convince uneasy application development managers to give it a look. In addition, the capabilities theyve added through the year to allow it to act as a large server on the network have been important. Finally, MQ has done wonders to allow distrbiuted applications to access data via rock-solid CICS transactions has been huge.::&Not familiar.::&Im responsible for Oracle, SQL Server and DB2. All three have their places in the organization, but Im constantly amazed at the preconceptions people have in their minds regarding each. SQL Server is a toy, DB2 is old, slow and inflexible, and Oracle is the wunderkind.
