At what point will z CP's go the way of CKD DASD? Running z emulation layer on IBM Power hardware. At the low end, it could provide an 'affordable' entry level system into z. At the high end a Power 795 with 256 cores and 16TB could run some pretty good sized z/OS systems, even with the overhead of emulation.
