Hi

As far as I can see, moving do a UNIX platform only has positive effects
such as:

Higher throughput. Normally, the S/390 guys only allows a minor amount of
memory and processor utilization to be used by ADSM/TSM. This is not a
problem when running a UNIX box.

The UNIX boxes normally have higher disk and tape I/O than a S/390
system. Dont ask me why, but I have seen this in environments where TSM had
existed on both UNIX and S/390.

Administration of a UNIX box is normally easier, and you don't have to
have a IBM representative doing all the work.

S/390 is optimized for transactions, UNIX is optimized for
disk/tape/network I/O.

Hello again!

I was just wondering if anyone has moved from an OS/390 platform to an AIX
or SUN and if so, what are the pros/cons of such a move?  Thanks!!!

Joni
