I've used this tool in the past: Alinean's IBM Systems Consolidation Evaluation Tool
That said, Google did not return any current information on it so care should be taken with potiential use. Although I do see some TCO info on there web site, I could not find a link to their tool from with in it: http://www.alinean.com/ The IBM tools (RACEv or our EAGLE teams IT eccomonic studies) are very well defined and used with trust by some of your peers in the BCBS family. - They use your data in a quantifialbe fashion allowing you to track progress as you move forward with consolidation. - They are also "no charge", helping them fit into most budgets. Feel free to contact me off list if more information is desired.

We are comparing costs on a EC12 14 IFL system running WMB, WAS, and DB2 vs running this on an x86 solution running vmware. Looking for information on how many x86 cores would be needed to replace the EC12 IFLs.
