You run the IBM power stuff mostly because it is the most cost effective way to run Oracle and other CPU licensed workloads. You can’t use VMWare partitioning to avoid paying. But the IBM hardware based stuff allows you to segment the workloads.
The other thing is that like mainframe, you can lease CPU on demand. So if your business is cyclical, it may be better to increase CPU November-January by 20%.
