This graph shows a fairly regular pattern of work, with one peak during the off hours. Two cases will be sized. Case 1 is the 95 th percentile. Case 2 is the 85 th percentile.

These charts compare the cost of a System z9 BC to the costs for the current distributed servers. $22,152 vs. $4,295 $60,944 vs. $19,092
