If you have applications that run (and rely) on z/OS, this kind a machine makes sense.
The e10k didn't have applications like that. Just about everything you could do on it could be made to work on commodity x86 with Linux (after some years, for 64-bit).
Yes, it absolutely did. Tuxedo for transaction processing, for one.
Tuxedo ran on many other vendors operating systems and architectures. It was portable, developed by AT&T.
How many other platforms will run IMS?
