I wonder why IBM puts so much efforts in advertising System z. Maybe their System z department is badly behind budget and they need to catch up? :)

I think System p is in, it's sexy, it's cheap, it's powerful, and just recently IBM announced their new Power6 CPU for it.

Is there really a need for seperate CICS, RS/6000, AS/400 systems anymore? I'm in the impression that RS/6000 (=System p) is now, and has been before also, the kick ass server, the fastest, the world record holder in supercomputer performance.
