The same rumour was circulating in March this year, but nothing came
of it. Maybe it's true this time, maybe it's an IBM spoiling tactic.

Do you have a URL for the announcement?

Hello!
I hear practically the same thing, every time I am at a briefing of IBM's
that makes use of the kit.

Naturally it's running Z/OS and their web applications server kit.

I agree though about a URL for this announcement. And what does the firm
consider a valid fee? A few thousand USD does sound like the classic spoiler
tactic.

Suppose, for the sake of argument, such an announcement had been made. Consider that it might be covered by NDA, and thus not available on the (public) web, nor for public discussion.

I'm just sayin'...

Yes, but some of Lim's information appears to be incorrect.

Hello!
I agree.

The firm described at the location will be making the hardware available
under the usual caveats. I suspect that the software for the system to do
its job would be available via PWD as well.

while this gives developers hope, i wonder why it came from some IBM
BizPartner with a lot of gov't bidness instead of from IBM?

IBM has now published three manuals on zPDT but not yet disclosed to PWD
and other developers the details of the zPDT program.

it seems to be a rather peculiar way of "announcing" zPDT.

It is, to the point that many people assumed it was just another
rehash of the same rumours that have been circulating for at least a
couple of years. Well, it's quite possible they "announced" it to
*some* developers, perhaps those who already have NDAs for things like
the ADCDs, or early support programs or the like. I imagine they would
want to keep the whole thing pretty low key; heaven forbid that actual
customers get to hear of such a thing!

[John P. Baker]

My information is that you must be a PartnerWorld developer qualified for
zSeries software.

 

The system is designated as a "1090", and consists of a USB dongle (for
licensing) and the "1090" software (simulator).

 

IBM specifically supports several hardware platforms, AFAIK, all of which
are from Lenovo.  Other hardware platforms may work, but are NOT supported
by IBM.

 

The system is Linux-based, and can support from 1-3 simulated zSeries
processors, which can be individually configured as CP, IFL, zIIP, or zAAP.

 

The USB dongle is separately priced at $299.

 

Software pricing is dependent on the number of simulated zSeries processors,
with a single processor license priced at $3,750.

 

ISV licensees will be able to obtains z/LINUX, z/OS, z/VM, and z/VSE through
the PartnerWorld program.

 

The license is for development only.  Production workloads are NOT
permitted.

If you are a member of Partnerworld, the information is available on the
Partnerworld web site.

Do you have a userid that starts with ETP? I believe it's the System z
site that uses those userids, rather than the regular all-platforms
Partnerworld one, that is what you want.

[Volker Bandke]

Well, I (used to) have a Flex/ES system, and I remember I had an ETP* ID
  I'll try to dig it out :)

Do you have a URL for the announcement?

If you're familiar with where to find the z/OS ADCD info, that's where
it is.
