How does Linux on IBM Power Systems change your organisations IT economics.

1. 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% utilization3
66%
fewer systems with a
75% reduction in data
center floor space3
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.

x86 Cores =
4 software licenses
Power Cores =
2 software licenses4
More workloads,
less licenses,
higher savings
58%
lower cost of acquisition
