Asking a site that is able to function within their requirements and existing SLA's to upgrade their box to more than 4x the existing size just to run z/OSMF is just never going to be economically feasible. Even on sites with larger machines, they may not have the extra capacity to provide z/OSMF with what it needs to function properly.
Since z/OSMF is a Java application, there is no need to upgrade the box at all in the classic sense of increasing its MSU capacity.
What you do instead is purchase/enable a single zIIP engine, share it among all z/OS LPARs via the HMC, and set ZZ=YES (zAAP on zIIP) in IEASYSxx on z/OS.
Voila! z/OSMF runs like a champ and your software bill does not go up one iota. In fact, it could go down slightly due to zIIP exploitation by other CPU-hungry products.
