System & Netwoks manager, Bruno Sugliani says:
“zCost allows the usage of "white space" during
peak time without subsequent invoicing . This
kind of "Power On Demand" concept was quite
appealing, and the ROI too”
Jacky Hofbauer - zCost Management founder - explains about IBM Mainframe charter:
The vWLC (variable Workload Licence Charge) process responds to the Value statement of the Mainframe Charter. This billing method authorizes to pay the licence charge on capacity usage, not on “full capacity”.This allows the customer to feel good about controlling his cost. zCOST takes an active role in this charter because the mainframe community ecosystem is strong and growing with a continued investment and increased availability of skills: zCost concept push to sell Power to give a good white space ratio, zCost allows partially to “auto finance” this power’ purchase by the financial savings gained on the software billing.”
“T-Systems provides data-processing energy for large customers and is constantly looking for “Optimized Resource Sharing”: zCost delivers that capability and helps us to control our IBM Software cost"
says André Delaere - French T-Systems purchasing manager
Patrick Jannin, Air France purchase manager, explains: "In 2007, our Datacenter grows with more additional Power, only zCost can control this new capacity with a financial & cost control objective ! "
