Look at licensing costs for Oracle (and other products licensed per
CPU). Last I heard was around $40K per CPU. If I can replace 4-5 Intel
servers with a single IFL software costs alone generate savings.
The larger question is can IFL/z/VM compete with Intel/Vmware (or
equivalent) when ALL costs are considered.
Good argument for those who use Oracle ...and for now. License terms and
conditions can change with time. Personally I wonder why Oracle price
per CPU is the same for various CPU types. However it can justify choice
of z/Linux.
As an mainframe guy I'm glad of that. <g>
