Mainframe customers have had a choice of processor speeds for years. As
full-capacity engines have grown, more and more customers are finding that those
full-capacity engines are not an ideal fit for them. For some customers the z16
A02 may even be preferable to an A01. What are the advantages to using
sub-capacity engines? Does your LPAR configuration matter? What metrics should
be examined to determine if a more/slower configuration is a good fit for your
workload? Is it possible that this choice might impact your software bill? Come
to this session with Scott Chapman to learn why more/slower CPUs may be a better
fit for many environments and how to determine what workloads might be at risk
for moving to slower CPUs.
