IBM has lots of resources to help you with your zIIP analysis. The best summary is: http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/PRS2841 and a quick search of TechDocs shows several other documents relating to zIIP sizing and opportunities for exploitation: http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebDocs/? Search&Query=[HTMLDocumentName=WM*]+AND+(ziip) &Start=1&Count=50&SearchOrder=1&SearchMax=10000 The above long URL was the result of going to the Techdocs site http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/Web/Techdocs and simply putting "ziip" in the search field.
