We are looking at alternatives to running ADSM; which we currently run on
the mainframe.  We are looking at moving ADSM to Unix; possibly investing
in a Magstar.  We are expecting management to ask for cost justification
and we are concerned about recovering the cost of the expenditures.

Question...How to you recover the costs? Does anyone have a charge back
mechanism in place for recovering costs for backing up distributed
services?

Any ideas, suggestions, and experiences would be appreciated.
