z800 enterprise-class servers are backed by a comprehensive suite of offerings and resources that provide value at every stage of IT implementation. These tools can help an organisation test possible solutions, obtain financing, plan and implement applications and middleware, manage capacity and availability, improve performance and obtain technical support across the entire infrastructure. The result is an easier way to deal with the complexities and rapid growth of e-business. In addition, IBM Global Services experts can help with business and IT consulting, business transformation and total systems management services, as well as customised e-business solutions.
Key to nondisruptive growth on z800 servers is Capacity Upgrade on Demand. This feature provides the ability to add server capacity and virtual servers nondisruptively. Furthermore, installation of FICON Express, ESCON, OSA-Express Gigabit and Fast Ethernet, Token-Ring, ATM, PCICC and PCICA cards can also be done nondisruptively.
Customer-Initiated Upgrade (CIU) on the z800 is the new capability to initiate a processor upgrade via the Web using IBM Resource Link. Customers will be able to download and install the upgrade themselves at the exact point in time their business needs require the upgrade. This unique and important function for zSeries gives the customer greater control and ability in adding capacity to the system to meet resource requirements for unpredictable e-business workloads and for applications that are difficult to size.
IBM also offers innovative financing solutions designed to make the acquisition of the new zSeries 800 servers manageable and affordable. With TOTAL Solution Financing, customers may be able to overcome current budget constraints and acquire z800 systems they need today. TOTAL Solution Financing can help customers turn up-front costs into low monthly payments while preserving credit lines for other investments. To meet changing business requirements, customers can easily add capacity or upgrade at any time during the lease.
