Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power
We are in the logistics business and the Power Systems' main focus is the warehouse management and the air cargo. Power System's performance is tremendous. IBM did a fantastic job during the Power 9 server build and its storage performance. Also, we are using IBM V7000 storage box. The storage performance is really nice for its Flash system.
- It has robust performance.
- It's secure and stays available.
- Can migrate easily.
- Live partition mobility.
- LPAR creation needs [a] little more hard work because of its external storage.
- Storage usage during Flash Copy setup.
- No other as such.
- Its value for money.
- We will get more customers because of its performance.
- IBM maintenance is a bit costly.
Earlier we were in Power 6 and it reached "end of support", so we decided to move to the latest technology which should have the best performance. Power 8 server is also good, but Power 9 is better than Power 8. Also its price is less when compared to the Power 9.
