Abstract
A method and system for providing a computing environment that permits simulations directed towards the consolidation and decommissioning of network elements associated with a network. The computing environment permits a user to designate a network element for decommission and exclude a network element from decommission and/or consolidation. The computing environment includes consolidation and decommission analytics that minimize a total operational cost of the network including leased network elements. The consolidation and decommission analytics includes accounting for penalties associated with early termination of leases and break-even values.
