This paper examines the economic justification for server consolidation on the latest IBM System p5 servers through the analysis of a detailed case study. This paper is based on the infrastructure and operational costs for a representative insurance company, as well as savings projections based on research by Alinean. The results of this paper revealed that consolidating computing resources on new IBM System p5 servers offered significant opportunity for IT cost reduction through lowered operations expenditures, projecting an impressive 56% lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over three years for the IBM solution, versus maintaining the current inefficient infrastructure.
