Why Migrate to x86 and Linux Increase choice of hardware, Legal, corporate compliance software, peripherals Hardware refresh Lower TCO, increase ROI Need to quickly adapt to change Cloud readiness Running IBM, SAP, or SAS EOL of database, operating system, hardware maint. Migrate to commodity, but Linux like tools, might as well retain skills migrate to Linux 6
