The IBM Systems Consolidation Evaluation Tool for Intel has been developed by Alinean Inc., an industry leading tool provider featuring return on investment analytics for the IT industry. The tool is designed to provide a preliminary, high-level analysis of your current systems environment costs based on your projected growth needs and server replacement cycles over the next 5 years. The results are contrasted to a consolidated Intel-based IBM System x or BladeCenter solution with estimated savings potential.

• The tool is a calculator that allows you to enter your unique IT server environment data, along with your projected annual computing growth needs and your server replacement cycle to derive a future cost basis should you continue with your current computing environment.
• It then proposes a consolidated Intel-based IBM System x or BladeCenter platform for consideration and forward calculates the consolidated costs and subsequent TCO and ROI savings.
• You have the choice to either print a detailed or summary report for your further usage or you can send the report to IBM for follow up discussions.

So check out the tool and find out how much you could be saving in your x86 environment within minutes.
