IBM's POWER platform has always been a long-standing supporter of Linux workloads.
Why Move to POWER?
Being 'fine' no longer cuts it - Today’s data cannot optimally run on yesterday’s infrastructure. You must invest in modernize your technology in order to maintain a competitive edge.
Save big time on long-term operational costs - Maintaining aging infrastructure will not only get costly over time but also have the potential to hamper business productivity. Your IT staff's valuable time spent looking after older servers can often exceed the cost of upgrading to new and refreshed servers.
POWER9 provides the infrastructure foundation for a future-looking organization that is ready to meet today’s business challenges and tomorrow’s advancements.
When you upgrade to the latest POWER9-based servers, you can effectively run your mission-critical requirements alongside modern, data-intensive workloads.
