We have a z10 with 7 IFLs using 1 CEC with two zVM production systems (2 LPAR) running about 80 Linux SuSE guests. The same z10 has zOS with DB2, CICS, MQ, ACF2, SAVRS, TMS and your standard IBM companion facilities. We did a TCO and software is your main entry. I might be able to share information on how we did the TCO but suspect our lawyers would not let me give you our numbers.

Before making any TCO calculations, I recommend taking a look at David Rhoderick's excellent presentation from SHARE in Anaheim: zEnterprise Economics. http://www.share.org/p/do/sd/topic=173&sid=4169 -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 310-338-0400 x318 edja...@phoenixsoftware.com http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
