Why BMC ? Exploiting zIIPs
Environment: • MIPS Included in the study: 18,007• 3 Physical Machines with 5 LPARS
Savings = Technical metric * Business metric• Technical Metric – 160 MIPS Saved by efficient monitoring• Technical Metric – 15 MIPS Saved by offloading to zIIPs• Business Metric – $3,578 / MIPS for large environment• Savings = $626,150 / year [$572,480 + $53,670 [zIIP]]
