"Scalability" was the single most important factor to us. We wanted to scale up the virtual machines to large/er/est memory possible and IBM Power servers made this possible.

  • Product Usability
  • Prior Experience with the Product
IBM offers a very compelling track record of providing a predictable stream of solid processors that both scale within the particular product, in this case Power 9, but also offers easy upgrades to new processing versions. IBM has recently released the next in its product line, the Power 10 Server. Early upgrades have already proven to be quick and easy. Another strength of the IBM Power 9 platform is that it has seamlessly implemented many other new technologies into the platform without any requirement of end-user integration. For example, major PCI enhancements and storage enhancements have been included within the two major Power 9 Servers models.
