Check out the new cover story in Oracle Magazine on Legacy Modernization. We were able to highlight three recent success stories and there are some nice partner highlights as well.

I just wanted to drop a very very post here and answer the question about Z.
Can oracle run on Z?
Well, of course.
With respect to 10g, that is fully certified on Z/OS (yep...) and Z/Linux.
It is well worth mentioned as well that Fusion Middleware is also certified to run on Z/Linux as well.
I had a question from a team helping a company in Latin America doing a migration of Oracle 10g from Windows to IBM Z/Linux and was concerned about the ability of Oracle to run and support the DB and Middleware.
11g will soon be certified to run on Z/Linux.
So, short post, but hopefully will answer the question for posterity. I get the question a lot.
There are many folks who are running a LOT of COSTLY MIPS on the mainframe, yet do not want to leave the mainframe environment. (If you are reading this, then you are probably a mainframe person, so I don't need to tell you why.) There are a lot of cost savings in doing a DB2 to Oracle migration on Z/Linux. With the hot plug-able nature of Oracle Fusion Middleware, this is a very viable technical solution.
So...there ya go.
Can we run on IBM Z? Yep.
