The DataDirect Shadow TCO Calculator

There is no way around it, traditional approaches to mainframe integration are computationally expensive. DataDirect Shadow can allow organizations to exploit the zIIP specialty engine beyond DB2 for reduced mainframe TCO. With the new DataDirect Shadow TCO Calculator we allow you to measure the value of zIIP exploitation!

The graphic below provides a simplified view of calculating the benefit of zIIP offload. Adjust the sliders on the demonstration graphic below to calculate the benefit of zIIP offload.

The real DataDirect Shadow TCO Calculator is a sophisticated, user-friendly tool for analyzing and modeling the impact of Web Services/SOA and data related processing on mainframe MIPS capacity. With just a few user inputs a detailed report can be assembled to determine potential saving in MIPS dollars and MIPS capacity when your organization utilizes a zIIP specialty engine in combination with the DataDirect Shadow mainframe software. Register now for a personal tour of the Shadow Mainframe TCO Calculator.

Note: The formulas and underlying calculations were developed by experts at DataDirect Technologies' mainframe research lab and a team of analysts with WinterGreen Research, an acknowledged leader in the field of mainframe TCO analysis.
