SAS Brings Enterprise Intelligence Platform to IBM System z
SAS Brings Enterprise Intelligence Platform to IBM System z
11 Apr 2007
SAS has tightly integrated its Enterprise Intelligence Platform – which includes data integration, intelligence storage, business intelligence and analytics software – with the IBM System z mainframe.
In addition, the introduction of sub-capacity pricing provides SAS mainframe customers with a cost-effective way of adding new workloads and new applications to the System z platform, says this news report.

IBM Encourages Customers to Bring BI Back to the Mainframe
IBM Encourages Customers to Bring BI Back to the Mainframe
By Stephen Swoyer, 4/4/2007
IBM is pursuing a number of pricing stratagems to make the mainframe a more affordable proposition on both hardware and software. One such is its zSeries Integrated Information Processor, or zIIP. zIIP is in essence a software license that lets customers host data-intensive workloads often associated with business intelligence (BI) or data warehousing (DW) on z/OS at a substantially reduced cost. IBM hopes with this effort to reverse the exodus from mainframes and to recast the System z as an alternative to distributed Windows, Unix, and Linux systems for BI and DW.
zIIPs were conceived with four primary scenarios in mind: remote JDBC and ODBC access to DB2 on z/OS; BI queries; parallel query processing; and DB2 utilities processing.

IBM VSE mainframe operating system gets upgrade
IBM VSE mainframe operating system gets upgrade
By Mark Fontecchio, 21 Mar 2007 | SearchDataCenter.com
IBM has upgraded the VSE mainframe operating system to include storage, security and networking improvements, as well as introduced pricing schemes to lower mainframe software licensing costs.
With z/VSE 4.1, IBM has introduced pricing with a so-called subcapacity measurement tool. Using this, mainframers can pay for the MIPS that they use on z/VSE, rather than being charged for how many total MIPS are on the box. The z/VSE 4.1 is now generally available.
