Publisher’s description

The primary reason this is so attractive and cost-effective is not just the cheaper hardware, but also much cheaper software, since typically, processing capacity associated with specialty engines is not "counted" as overall z/OS MIPS/MSUs capacity by IBM or ISVs, and is therefore exempt from many related charges such as license costs, upgrades and maintenance fees. The choice for IT would seem obvious: maximize the use of specialty engines to reduce cost. However, the obstacle to IT achieving these savings is the pre-requisite that only certain types of processing are eligible to execute on these specialized engines. To actually realize such savings, sites must identify and migrate workloads currently running on mainframe's traditional General Purpose (GP) Processors to one of the cheaper Specialty Processor types.
