Value Your Data Invest for Innovation What if you could more than double customer transactions for web and mobile commerce while reducing costs by 33% 1 ? It’s time to stop overpaying and gain true value from your IT infrastructure. *With WebSphere Application Server compared to Ivy Bridge Hardware efficiency that minimizes infrastructure overhead Linux on POWER8 delivers over 2X the throughput at a 49% lower cost*. 65% utilization guarantee with POWER8 vs. x86 that typically averages 38% utilization 3 66% fewer systems with a 75% reduction in data center floor space 3 Higher performance per core means less software licenses needed to accomplish the same amount of work. Rise above the continuous x86 upgrade traps. Gain economic advantages from workloads that scale up dynamically and on demand, Linux on Power Systems helps you realize the true potential of your open solution stack. See how Linux on Power Systems can drastically change your organization’s IT economics and drive the best value.
