The Insight
For the stand-alone x86 server case, this works out to be 30.7 servers/FTE. The virtualized Power Systems server case turns out to be 55.9 servers per administrator.

Standardization
How to quantify the material impact standardization has on reducing labor cost?

Total Software Cost Labor Cost decline by roughly the inverse of the cloning factor.

The more the workloads you can consolidate on a given platform, the more you can lower your labor costs.
The higher the clone factor, the greater the reduction in labor costs associated with deploying and maintaining software virtual images.

Summary
Private clouds built on IBM Power Systems servers and Tivoli service management software can be up to 70-90% less expensive on a cost/image basis than stand-alone x86 servers or public cloud alternatives The greater the consolidation you can achieve, the lower you can reduce total physical server labor hours
The more images you can standardize and clone, the lower you can reduce software image labor hours The use of Tivoli Service Automation Manager can reduce labor hours for a unique software image by up to 67% compared to manual deployment on an IBM Power Systems server
