Look at licensing costs for Oracle (and other products licensed per

servers with a single IFL software costs alone generate savings.
The larger question is can IFL/z/VM compete with Intel/Vmware (or
equivalent) when ALL costs are considered.

Are you only looking at Oracle servers? Are there other servers in your environment
that might be a good fit for Linux on System z?
