The kind of customization and tuning parameters are available to provide more value in respect of different Databases like Oracle, DB2, etc. The same can be done for the application which helps to have minimal downtime to run our business success. Along with these as we know Hardware is robust and in case of any failure, we get immediate help from IBM. That's the reason we selected IBM Power System Virtual Servers.
Vulnerabilities can be remediated by performing necessary upgrades on time in respect of OS level and VIO level as we upgrade its firmware. We always go with the practice to have an upgrade of OS level, VIO level, and Firmware level along with its adapter microcode in commissioning of the server. Through these practices, we can reduce Vulnerabilities.
IBM can be managed via its HMC, Power VC, or some other platform. If we had ESA in such condition in case of service events auto-trigger will happen and directly ticket will be raised by OEM to take necessary without delay. There is some other method to encounter the error such as one of the famous is the ERRPT command. We can fix these issues and can achieve business outcomes.
