1. A method for determining compatibilities for a plurality of computer systems comprising:
- generating a configuration compatibility score for each pair of said plurality of systems based on configuration data obtained for each of said plurality of systems;
generating a workload compatibility score for each pair of said plurality of systems based on workload data obtained for each of said plurality of systems; and
generating a co-habitation score for each pair of said plurality of systems using the respective configuration compatibility score and workload compatibility score, said co-habitation score indicating an overall compatibility for each system with respect to the others of said plurality of systems.

Abstract
Systems and method for performing a consolidation analysis and visually representing the analysis are provided. The analysis is conducted by performing an audit, performing system compatibility and workload compatibility analyses using the audit data and rule sets. The results of the individual analyses are combined to create an overall compatibility co-habitation analysis and visual consolidation roadmap including scorecard information. The system and workload analyses may be performed to contribute to the overall co-habitation analyses, but also performed on their own.
