There are several important aspects to consider when migrating from IBM mainframes to HP.

1. Total cost of ownership-- Cut costs with HP

The cost of running Linux on a new HP rx7640 (8 cores) is 1/7 the cost of adding 4 Linux processors to an existing mainframe.* The TCO figure for the HP system is $97,150 compared to $690,060 for the mainframe.

*Includes initial one-time and maintenance costs, SUSE Linux License, and virtualization software. HP rx7640: 8 cores, 8 MB RAM; Mainframe z9 BC Model z04 (8 processors), 4- IFLs (Integrated Facility for Linux)

2. Power & Cooling-- Boost your efficiency

The HP Integrity Superdome uses 1/2 the power and produces only 1/2 the heat per processor that the IBM Mainframe z9 S94 does. Here are the numbers:

Power (per processor):
IBM: 338.9 Watts/hr
HP: 148.4 Watts/hr

Cooling (per processor):
IBM: 1155.6 BTU/hr
HP: 506.3 BTU/hr
