I'd strongly recommend IBM Power servers to anyone who has the budget for it. A Power Virtual Machine, what is generally called FlexTB VM, can support as many small VM of 256GB, and scale up to 32TB on the fly. If IBM recommended architecture is combined with your organizational reference architecture, then forget about running into unplanned downtimes.

Multiple programs can operate on one server without issues.

We have utilized IBM Power servers to stimulate and optimize the performance of our energy grid. The servers take into account various factors such as real-time data from sensors...The complex nature of managing an energy grid necessitate advanced modelling and optimization. These Powers systems help us solve problems related to grid stability, and energy flow optimization. They ensure that our grid operates efficiently and adapts to changing conditions seamlessly.

Another happy user.

I like the fact that the SQL database engine is built INTO the OS. I believe this allows it to perform far better than other OSs where the SQL db engine has to be installed on top of the OS.
