Oh, as scary as it sounds, it's entirely possible to save current day unicorn runway money on metered processing duty cost software compared with the Oracle installations that you find at this level. Especially when you are pre processing using the accelerator cards that IBM doesn't include in your cup budget. I keep telling myself that my retirement plan is to write the missing "DB2 On Z is Not Any DB2 From Any Brochure You Read", handbook, plus the supplementary, "The Difference Between Larry Ellison And God Is God Runs z/vm syslpex." *0
Not being funny but do you honestly like the fact your hardware can't return correct values for your financial accounts? I am drooling over fogas on xeon mcms for selling metered coprocessor logic .
Edit accidentally included runaway thought process...
