Tags: budget growth, software, management

Overview Better management of MIPS consumption is one of the most overlooked opportunities for reducing mainframe hardware and software costs. MIPS usage is growing faster than both business growth and IT budget growth, and this trend is likely to become even more pronounced. One industry analyst, Ovum, estimates that "Mainframe MIPS growth is averaging around 20 percent per year and large mainframe-centric enterprises have been consistently averaging 35 percent-plus MIPS growth." This is substantial, as industry analysts estimate that the addition of one MIPS can cost between $4,000 and $15,000. Just as with any other outlay, the cost of MIPS can be controlled. This paper will detail how to control and manage MIPS usage by employing a systematic, repeatable approach that uses powerful technology and a proven process and expertise.
