Well suited for huge customer handling business. We can manage millions of customers with high security. Also can accommodate various virtualization logical partitions. But the organization which is handling fewer customers is not advisable to use IBM Power Systems S924. IBM Power Systems S924 is huge in cost. It would be better if costs are affordable to small customers.
