IBM Partner Webcast, Good, Better, Best Workloads for Linux on System z:

IBM clients are seeing tremendous benefits from migrating workloads from distributed servers to virtual Linux servers running on z10 under z/VM.

This is because z/VM offers an extensive set of virtualization technologies that enable users to enjoy significant cost-savings when deploying Linux-based solutions on the mainframe. As you move mission critical work to Linux on System z, you'll need to manage that workload.
