a high level, the fact that AT&T is deploying less cpus(33%) using gWLM means that utilization will be better than before you would normally deploy two 5-cpu vpars and they are utilized at an average of 25%, with gWLM, you would only deploy 7 cpus. With the reduced number of cpus being deployed, the same workload on 7 cpus would be utilized at 36% - an increase of 70% utilization.
