Does the Intel Rack contain a switch like a blade center has? If so this
is a classic example of "Infrastructure Simplification" and a lot of the
savings would be in network infrastructure and admin costs.

Well, in all fairness, they moved 60 web sites to zLinux, but also
consolidated 500 applications from 560 x86 servers to a rack of 70 x86
servers running VMware. That entire migration is what is expected to
save $10 million, not just the move to zLinux.

BusinessWeek article tells the story of First National Bank of Nebraska
consolidating 30 (Sun) Unix servers onto one mainframe. "The shift
boosted hardware-utilization rates to about 70% - and Kucera expects to
save $10 million over five years. 'It's revolutionary,' he says. 'It's
really good stuff. It paid for itself in a year.'"
