Don't forget to add the required resources with management and maintenance for DR, dev/test/Q&A (after all, who runs production only workloads?). - And then add z Systems push pull process into the refresh mix... Something that is often overlooked by competitive comparisons.

You have to consider the whole stack, from storage/networking to the hipervisor, guest OS, database and the applications. If you only consider that a Xeon is cheaper than an IFL it is anybody's guess what the final functional outcome for the customer will be. ________________________________________ Van: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> namens Sergey Korzhevsky <[email protected]> Verzonden: woensdag 3 februari 2016 09:44 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: Re: TCO comparison Intel vs EC12 IFLs Just to add 5 cents. Besides hardware, you also changed database which may have HUGE impact on performance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
