User Testimonials
	IBM LinuxONE	Oracle SPARC Servers
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM IBM LinuxONE dashboard is clean and friendly to welcome new users and the capabilities of the feature are excellent and easy to pull multiple data from other third parties platforms through the IBM LinuxONE integration functions and the data merging tools are very excellent. Multiple data processing operations are easily managed and monitored through this software and the reports are effective. Incentivized Cedeno Amanda .NET Software Engineer Read full review	Oracle Excellent to consolidate workload using the LDom Virtualization (which is included free of charge). Good integration into Oracle Support with Automated Service Requests (ASR). Easy to migrate workloads from older servers to newer generations, such as SPARC S7 or T8. After migrating workloads from older SPARC T4 to S7, applications are approximately 2x faster. Marcel Hofstetter Enterprise Consultant Read full review

Usability	IBM No answers on this topic	Oracle Extreme long lifetime (10+ years). High performance. SPARC S7 CPU has 4.2GhZ and SPARC T8 has 5GhZ. Virtualization is included for free. Very easy to use because it runs Oracle Solaris. The SPARC Servers scale very well.

Alternatives Considered	IBM LinuxONE has better scalability and price/performance metrics. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Oracle In terms of the Power ecosystem, the use cases of IBM Power System S914 is very limited. Resources required for properly working PowerVM and VIOS are very difficult. In Oracle SPARC Servers setup, it is pretty easy with very limited steps to be performed. This helped our Return of Investment become positive very quickly. Incentivized RG Radhamohan Garg GM Read full review
