A U.S. College of Medicine migrated 32 legacy Sun servers onto three IBM Power™ 570 servers and improved overall performance by 30%, reduced SAP footprint by 60%, and reduced cooling and power costs by over 40%.
Introduction
Virtualisation. The cost-effective way to enable a dynamic infrastructure.
Today’s increasing database workloads are taking up some 80% of commercial server capacity. To keep up, I.T. managers are forced to add new servers, which gobble up space, energy and cost. These additional servers also mean more costs for software licenses and more systems to manage. Meanwhile, I.T. budgets continue to shrink.
Fortunately, our planet is becoming smarter. Systems and infrastructures are becoming more intelligent, resulting in more opportunities for consolidation than ever before.
One cost-effective way to consolidate your resources is virtualisation with IBM Systems. It allows you to enable a dynamic infrastructure which reduces I.T. complexity to create a more resilient, flexible and secure data centre. Just as important, it ensures better performance and bigger savings over SUN™. And the figures prove it.
Why move from SUN to IBM?
Why switch to IBM?
Performance
- IBM Power Systems offers the dynamic infrastructure you need, with better price-performance than other servers.
- Better performance with half the cores, which translates to huge savings on software licensing.
- Up to 2.3 times better performance with the 5.00GHz 16-core IBM Power 570 – which has the industry’s fastest processor – compared to the 32-Core SUN T5440. 1
Savings
- Up to 89% savings on annual energy costs when you consolidate ten 64-core SUN M8000s into ONE rack of IBM Power 570 systems.
- Up to 92% reduction in floor space requirements and 90% reduction in processing cores2.
HASSLE-FREE MIGRATION
- Over 1,500 companies3 have made the transition to IBM Power Systems with ease in the past few years with the help of experienced IBM experts. No hassle, no risk. We can help you do the same. Plus, IBM’s leadership in the server market will ensure stability and continuity for your investments.
