Notes:
Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any
user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload
processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.
IBM hardware products are manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts. Regardless, our warranty terms apply.
All customer examples cited or described in this presentation are presented as illustrations of the manner in which some customers have used IBM products and the results they may have
achieved. Actual environmental costs and performance characteristics will vary depending on individual customer configurations and conditions.
This publication was produced in the United States. IBM may not offer the products, services or features discussed in this document in other countries, and the information may be subject to
change without notice. Consult your local IBM business contact for information on the product or services available in your area.
All statements regarding IBM's future direction and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice, and represent goals and objectives only.
Information about non-IBM products is obtained from the manufacturers of those products or their published announcements. IBM has not tested those products and cannot confirm the
performance, compatibility, or any other claims related to non-IBM products. Questions on the capabilities of non-IBM products should be addressed to the suppliers of those products.
Prices subject to change without notice. Contact your IBM representative or Business Partner for the most current pricing in your geography.
This information provides only general descriptions of the types and portions of workloads that are eligible for execution on Specialty Engines (e.g., zIIPs, zAAPs, and IFLs) ("SEs"). IBM
authorizes customers to use IBM SE only to execute the processing of Eligible Workloads of specific Programs expressly authorized by IBM as specified in the “Authorized Use Table for IBM
Machines” provided at www.ibm.com/systems/support/machine_warranties/machine_code/aut.html (“AUT”). No other workload processing is authorized for execution on an SE. IBM offers SE at
a lower price than General Processors/Central Processors because customers are authorized to use SEs only to process certain types and/or amounts of workloads as specified by IBM in the
AUT.

Desafio
Para suportar a crescente demanda, a Algar Telecom
precisava de uma infraestrutura forte e flexível, que
entregasse alta disponibilidade e confiabilidade para os
serviços de telecomunicações.
Solução
A Algar Telecom consolidou mais de 90 servidores
distribuídos em servidores virtuais Linux, usando z/VM em
uma única IBM zEnterprise 196, utilizando também uma
IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension.
Benefícios
Entregou uma plataforma confiável e flexível para os
serviços de ponta, que :
 Reduziram os custos do data center em 70%
 Reduziu os esforços em manutenção em 65%
 Impulsionou a eficiência operacional em 30%
“Transformamos
completamente nossa
infraestrutura e a forma
como a gerenciamos com o
IBM zEnterprise System.
Como consequência,
estimamos que nossa
eficiência operacional
aumentou em pelo menos
30%.”
