The flat blue bars represent the original announced
capacity of the z990 models. The flat black bars represent the new “resized” capacities
of the z990s. To understand how these changes impact your environment you
can use the LPAR Capacity and Software
Usage Analysis (LCS) tool. LCS is the only tool that gives you the
ability to do your own analysis of WLC and to Determine what WLC can provide
in your site. The updated prices and machine capacities were delivered
to LCS licensees on Thursday, September 4th. LCS's spreadsheets are interactive
reports that allow you to vary the hardware configuration, software
configuration
or
license
metrics.
