Here's the link to the announcement letter. http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?subtype=ca&infotype=an&appname=iSource&supplier=897&letternum=ENUS113-121
Planned availability September 20. On another note, can someone point me to the announcement for end-of-availability for purchasing upgrades to a z10BC? I must be brain-dead because I haven't been able to find it, and in this GINMF (Google is not my friend). Thanks.

It uses a faster, 4.2GHz 64-bit z/Architecture processor (an improvement over the z114’s 3.8GHz CPUs), and has twice the maximum memory of the z114 at 498GB. And as far as mainframes go, the zBC12 is priced to move, starting at $75,000—or for lease starting at $1,965 a month. That’s roughly half the cost of buying the equivalent computing power in commodity x86 hardware. </quote> -- This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. If this had been an actual emergency, do you really think we'd stick around to tell you?
