  • Minimum downtimes during updates or upgrades, non-stop business is grateful.
  • Servers consolidation has allowed great infrastructure and energy savings.
  • Excellence is achieved, but highly qualified personnel are also needed for it.
There is simply no comparison, power systems are at an infinitely higher level in reliability, availability and serviceability.
The greatest strength of power systems is precisely their strength. They are systems designed to run indefinitely without interruptions. Therefore, they are the best solution for 7x24 applications, where downtimes are not allowed or represent great loss of benefits. In these cases, return on investment is easily achieved. The perfect solution for both OLAP and OLTP databases, Power systems allow absolute control in the management of mission critical applications.
