My 2 cents: Take 3-4 IFLs and put this Oracle on it. Enough for 98% of the coming load I think... Take 2-3 OpteronBoxes for the Java in front of it.
AND! Put some other project on the zBox. Never make the mistake and size (especially) a z-machine for the peaks you need. You also shouldn't take the Z for ONE project. Think of the benefit of the easy consolidation and perfect system management you will have with the Z. And for costs you have to compare all efforts you need to get the "bit" from the disk to the userscreens and this for a couple of projects...

That would make sense. And if it has to be all on zSeries, we learned that it does help to put the tiers in different virtual machines that can be tuned separately. Too bad many people put so little effort into it when they do benchmarks, and then value the outcome so much...
