[00:06] <pppingme> I was looking for anyone that has recent purchases..  or quotes.. trying to avoid sticker shock before we sit down with ibm
[00:06] <pppingme> I know dula frame z14 pricing, trying to figure out where the rockhopper2 fits in
[00:24] <xnox> pppingme, take analgesics first?! =)
[00:27] <xnox> pppingme, i believe rockhopper2 and z14, are equivalent generation / capacity mainframes.
[00:27] <pppingme> yes, rockhopper2 is a single frame z14
[00:28] <pppingme> emperor2 is the dual frame z14
[00:28] <xnox> pppingme, rockhopper2 should be possible to configure differently / price differently as the pricing there is for linux-only as far as I understand positioning.
[00:28] <pppingme> right, rockhopper and emperor are the "IFL only" z14's
[00:28] <xnox> pppingme, i only have access to z13, and we got it on a loan contract =/
[00:29] <xnox> so nothing comparable.
[00:29] <xnox> in terms of running Ubuntu / Ubuntu Openstack / Ubuntu KVM it is all well supported across all of them, obviously.
[00:30] <pppingme> corrected: right, rockhopper2 and emperor2 are the "IFL only" z14's
