Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power
We were doing a pilot program to test the effectiveness of our application running on SAP HANA and needed a server that could handle a lot of memory. We selected the IBM Power System S924 because it could handle 4 TB of memory which allowed us to keep our entire database in memory. This is just for a pilot program at this time.
- In memory caching
- Reliability and 24x7
- Performance
- I/O throughput
- Improve price
- Improve architecture to allow 4 sockets instead of 1 or 2.
- Will improve our ROI over existing architecture.
- Improved performance greatly.
- Better customer experience.
The enterprise is wanting to retire the SPARC servers. We wanted to get something far less expensive that could handle more memory. The S924 holds up to 4 TB of memory using standard DIMM sockets which helps keep the cost down. This memory allows us to keep the entire DB cached.
