- neverartful 3y agoI would suspect that it IS multiple boxes and with z/VM using single system image. This is the first time I've ever heard of mainframe "in a rack". In the past they come in their own cabinet, but if you open the cabinet door you won't see one "box".
- wmf 3y agoNo, it's a single box with one Telum chip.
- neverartful 3y agoOk, good to know!
- hobobaggins 3y agoTell that to my Linux boxes that have been up for years, or others who have been up for decades.
- e12e 3y agoI mean it's susceptible to fire an ac/cooling failure - other than that? Redundant power, redundant connectivity are both feasible?
