IBM guarantees that its Power S822LC server running MongoDB will provide at least 1.8 times the price-performance of a comparable x86-based server. Price-performance is defined as the throughput performance divided by the price of the system. For example, if the Power server achieves 18,000 transactions per second for £10,000 while an x86 server achieves 10,000 transactions per second for the same £10,000 price, the Power server meets the 1.8 times guaranteed price-performance. The guarantee is valid for UK server sales until December 31, 2016.
