Patrice, I have a very basic problem with the approach used by zCost. It seems counterintuitive to cap workloads based solely on cost. Maybe it is my large scale systems mentality.
Are not these workloads contributing to revenue generation? If they aren't, then use WLM to make them less important or discretionary. If they are, then why would you want to "govern" their ability to generate that revenue faster? WLM is free and it is a much better mechanism for companies to use to perform workload and cost management without resorting to what I envision as a sledgehammer approach.
