White Paper

Consolidating Workloads onto Mainframes
April 2008

	The flexibility, efficiency, and reduced cost of ownership virtualization provides makes it extremely compelling to large and small organizations alike. Increasingly IT organizations are contemplating virtualization across all platforms, many of which already supported some form of virtualization.   As this trend makes its way deeper and deeper into the data center many organizations start to leverage the fact virtualization also lifts many of the constraints that govern which platform a workload needs to run on. The different workload “personalities” that are present in an environment are key to the virtualization process, as they heavily influence how well an application will perform on a given virtualization model.   Some workloads possess certain characteristics that make them ideal for consolidation on to Mainframes.  This white paper discusses these characteristics as well as the overall process for analyzing existing IT environments to determine the optimal approach to consolidate workloads onto the Mainframe platform.
