Ha! Small world on HN. I haven't personally tried the Edgerouter solution. I've been trying to replicate on pfSense/BSD, but it isn't as simple as you might think. :/ https://forum.pfsense.org/index.

You might try this: https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy You have to enable `set system offload ipv4 vlan enable` else your routing performance will suffer.

IBM has been recently promoting Docker on z. IBM argues the high I/O capabilities of their platform are a good fit for the container model. (I don't disagree with them. The many-application-on-big-hardware model is not a new conce

You can blame IBM for that. The fact that they haven't made it easy for security researchers (or anyone really) to tinker hurts the platform. Up until a few years ago, there was no legal way to run z/OS on hardware that wasn'

For the security researchers out there, mainframes are really under-researched. There just aren't many people that have the expertise in the platform required for security research. And most of the people who do have expertise in the p

I think IBM is headed that direction with BlueMix. That is their public cloud offering. However, there are no mainframe offerings yet.

You are preaching to the choir! I am not an IBMer, so I have the same gripes. Mainframes gradually exited academia in the mid-80s. It was a terrible mistake by IBM, because they essentially eliminated the next generation of mainframers. The

It's hard to answer "z/OS vs Linux on z" generically, because there's use cases for both. But perhaps the most generic answer I can give you in favor of Linux is: familiarity. z/OS has a long history. It's

Just to clarify: P-series (Power/POWER8) Linux is not the same as what is announced here. LinuxONE runs on the System z (mainframe / s390x) platform.

Good stuff here. People fall into the mistake of just comparing cores and memory specs between x86_64 and s390x. The hardware redundancy benefits are pretty huge. You really need a full proof-of-concept to get any picture of how your workl

Do you have a source on if the LinuxONE Emprorer is actually a z13 underneath? It wouldn't be surprised if the Emperor and Rockhopper are just re-branded z13s and z114s. If true, here's your specs for the z13: http://ww
