We are currently running Banner ERP with the app server on System p, and the Oracle DB on System z Linux. We are in the process of porting the app server to z also. If you don't have an Oracle site license, the savings could end up paying for your z/VM license and more. My boss also talks about the savings he was able to make in a reduced number of p boxes that would pay for the z/VM license.
