Shane I think really that the "Group capcaity Limit" is the very good technical tool but WLM make a basic MSU repartition to optimize resource sharing only inside a group: in this fact, I think that it there not a relevant approach to control the vWLC cost.
GCL gives a dynamic MSU management inside a group but its definitions remain static and if you need to change them, you must connect yourself to the HMC. I think that is not satisfactory because a customers need really to save cost on software mainframe platform and they will appreciate having a effective way to control costs. So, GCL has a true technical capacbiliy to falicitating CPC management and to optimize MSU resources inside group. In Europa, Datacenters implement a software specialized for cost control. He helps the customer get a handle on controlling the vWLC process and he gives a consequent R.O.I. Its financial savings gained on the software billing allows that the customer can buy power (CP) without having a financial penalty on the monthly licence charge because he can control how he can use this extra power (power on demand). This software allows also to optimize dynamiclly resource sharing but for all images in CPC with a relevant decision algorithm. It produces a relevant reporting to have a effective way to control cost and to work about tuning and capacity planning. And he is compatible with IRD and GCL.
