What kind of workloads / servers do you think works best under z/VM and also realizes most economical benefits? For instance if I wanted to run 10 lightly loaded zLinux instances with WAS on z/VM, how much memory is required for each instance? How will that compare to 10 instances on vmware with similar workloads if we only care about money?
