Power7 Solutions delivers Lower TCO & Higher ROI

Power Systems Software

Whether you’re looking for traditional solutions such as ERP and transaction processing or solutions for a smarter planet requiring massive scaling and analytics, IBM and Spectrum solutions help you keep an eye on tomorrow while making sure current operations don’t miss a beat.

The unique workload optimizing capabilities of POWER7 such as Intelligent Cache and Intelligent Threads technologies make it the best-performing server platform for multiple tasks. Power7 Solutions include:

Virtualization:

Virtualization can enable multiple systems to behave as an integrated whole, or allow organizations to manage critical operational resources from a single point of control. It can also unlock those resources, freeing them from specific hard-ware and fluidly reallocating them wherever, whenever and however they are needed—in real time, as business needs change.

IT Optimization:

An early step toward IT optimization is one of simple, but crucial evaluation: In what ways could your company streamline and advance its position? In what areas — technology infrastructure, organization or process — could your business effect such transformation? Only by evaluating and understanding what your business wants to accomplish as an enterprise can you effectively work with IT to achieve your goals.

Business Resilience:

IBM has defined Business Resilience as “The ability to rapidly adapt and respond to risks, as well as opportunities, in order to maintain continuous business operations, be a more trusted partner, and enable growth.”

Energy Efficiency and Systems Management:

Energy efficiency is one of the most pressing issues facing the IT industry. Together we are focused on providing customers with solutions designed to help sharply reduce energy consumption by servers, racks and data centers to help companies transform the world’s business infrastructures into “green” data centers.

Information Infrastructure:

Solutions designed to help you manage the information explosion and address challenges around storage efficiency, service delivery, or data protection. This will lead your company toward improved productivity, service delivery and reduced risk while streamlining costs.

Storage and Server Consolidation:

A cost effective solution that focuses on fewer storage systems or servers and less complexity to achieve increased business productivity.

Spotlight on IBM Software

IBM Software is optimized for POWER7 based systems for a high performance, reliable and manageable IT foundation. New Rational compilers for AIX and Linux offer more performance for in-house developed applications. And, with IBM Tivoli Usage and Accounting Manager, clients gain new flexibility to collect usage metrics at an aggregated LPAR level or at the more granular process level, for a simplified view of actual usage and optional chargeback capability.
