This is smoek screen. they do not include facility costs, middleware, network and support.
1) If they include they ONLY included the power NOT the ambient cooling. Sysz - 5Kw and none 2) BIggest savings is middleware - more virtual servers per unit (harware) equals less in license costs 3) With out crypto you are looking at a backbone network savings (behind the wall) of 30 to 40%. If you include crypto its even greater cuz now there is an elimination of bandwidth and firewall appliances 4) With zLinux I can update the kernel once for an entire LPAR or with DSS one common read only Oracle SQP library that effects all prodcution servers on the LPAR.\ How do I know this - been doing that fight daily for the last 4 years at the company I work for. There is a reason they do not include System z - plus the more servers the better the TCO or ROI. This is a PRIVATE message.
