We can work with you to compile a Power Systems roadmap and consolidation study. Your current environment will be analysed and, once all parties are agreed, we will present you with an action plan.
Today’s POWER7® processor based systems combine industry leading performance, scalability and modularity to enable you to get the most from your investment to build a flexible, responsive infrastructure that easily adapts and grows in line with your business needs. Power Systems Express servers are highly energy efficient and include EnergyScale™ technology to monitor and manage energy usage.
IBM i (Previously i5/OS, OS/400) is an integrated operating environment with a 20 year reputation for providing exceptional security and business resilience. IBM i integrates a trusted combination of relational DB2® database, security, web services, networking and storage management capabilities. The latest IBM i 7.1 release includes enhanced DB2® support for XML and column level encryption, automatic movement of hot data to solid state drives, enhancements to RPG to extend applications to mobile devices and web services, plus enhanced virtualisation and resiliency options.
You may be needlessly reeling under high IT management costs, low server utilisation, and high energy usage. As a result, consolidation, virtualisation and IT management tools and services can transform an IT infrastructure to become a powerful enabler of business growth. To transform your IT infrastructure, you can turn to PowerVM™ virtualisation to consolidate multiple workloads onto fewer systems - increasing server utilisation and reducing your cost. PowerVM provides a secure and scalable virtualisation environment for AIX, i and Linux applications built upon the advanced resiliency features and leading performance of the Power Systems platform.
Power Systems solutions benefit from decades of IBM experience in designing and deploying high availability environments. PowerHA™ SystemMirror disk clustering solutions are available to help keep your systems - and your business - running 24x7/365. PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX and IBM i Editions are data centre and multi-site resiliency solutions designed to help protect critical business applications from outages: planned or unplanned. PowerHA is integrated with cluster aware capabilities in both the AIX and IBM i operating environments.
Managing data protection and compliance is vital for you to avoid legal and financial exposures owing to the loss of private customer or key financial data. We offer tools to protect data from threats and unauthorised access on Power servers running AIX, i and Linux workloads. Data encryption capabilities to protect file systems, data and backup are an integral part of the AIX and IBM i operating systems, both of which also support role based access control. Whether you want to manage the security of your Power servers, or include other elements in your infrastructure—we can work with you to provide a solution to define, enforce and audit your business with compliance policies.
