We're on a base/incremental funding model, so at request time, the users kick back some $. Ongoing support would go into base I think.
They calculate the DASD costs the same as for distributed systems - so many $ per Gigabyte (can't remember the number but it include storage people time and some costs for the backups). No charge for network. We charge 5-10 hours or so for server creation and a fee for cpu based on someone's guess at MIPS that might be used (usually 3-5K I suspect). If it's a big app, more extensive sizing might be done - or we make them by the IFL :) We use the CA suite on VM (and use VM:Operator to route messages to Command Post), Velocity for performance monitoring, and for Linux monitoring HP OVO & Wily Introscope (for Websphere Java stuff) and something else on WebSphere who's name I can't remember at the moment - but I think it ties in with the Introscope.

Network? DASD? how about SAN storage and Tape. We're working on this now and we're trying to not kill the project by making it to expensive to run on zSeries Hardware. Also What are some of the toolsets in use out there. IBM DIRMAINT/RACF vs. CA VM suite for Linux what monitoring products do you use? backup/restore products?
