Managing Linux and Virtual Machines?

Posted by Cliff on from the seeking-wisdom-from-the-pioneers dept.

deijmaster asks: "For a couple of months we have been hearing (as a major consulting firm) IBM people pushing the possibility of installing a Z/Linux VM setup at one of our biggest clients (financial). To a Linux user such as myself this sounds great, at first. Now, I am a bit reluctant when it comes to managing this kind of infrastructure, with little or no local expertise at IBM. Has anyone gone through a Z/Linux VM corporate installation and lived through the management of such a solution?"

    finding ways to fish money out of your pocket with every solution. I would love to see how many hours of consultation this migration (and ongoing support) will be out? IBM, single handedly making sure Linux isn't "free, as in beer".
