We ran an ES/9000 for a few years, before that we had a 4381. Our downtime was miniscule... IMO, if a company is running a Z-Series mainframe and they're going down 2-3 times a week - somebody should be fired or problematic hardware should be replaced by IBM. I'm surprised that a company can not achieve the proverbial five 99999's with a Z-Series platform - it should be as reliable as an iSeries (at a minimum).
