Congratulations to IBM. This sounds the death nell for z/OS at this install.
What will you do instead?
(I'm not sure why I can't see Ed's post, so I copied the above from another.)
First, we are still delivering these things on DVD and have no current plans to
stop doing that. So, if that was your concern, a connection to the internet
from z/OS is not required.
In addition to that, you can take a laptop outside your firewall, download
stuff*, bring the laptop back in, connect to your internal network, and upload
it to z/OS to be processed. A connection from z/OS to the internet is not
required for this, either, and it's probably faster than waiting for a DVD to
arrive. I don't have actual numbers handy, but the data volume for most orders
is probably less than you need to download for a Netflix movie in SD. If you
are ordering the gorilla in the room (z/OS itself), it's about what you need
for a few Netflix HD movies.
Then, if you are willing to buy hardware as David Boyes outlined, you can
perhaps do it that way. I have no knowledge about these products, and we have
not tested that approach, so I do not know whether or not it works. If
someone has tried it, I'd be (academically, I'll admit) interesting in knowing
about the outcome.
* "Stuff" = Products, PTFs, HOLDDATA, etc.

John:
Between the Auditor and the CEO they are of one voice. No outside data (include
DVD’s) are allowed. They have been quite vocal in this and insists it be their
way or noway.
Tape from IBM is as outside as DVD from IBM. Both contain data (DVD
cannot be altered ).
Of course you CEO and auditor can demand only square media or only tape
media, or only media delivered by a person in pink jacket, but it has
nothing to do with common sense.
BTW: How do you get PTF's?
