Overall Satisfaction with IBM POWER9 Servers

The Power9 servers are being used as application servers backing Enterprise-wide SAP installations running the business. We use these servers for ERP, CRM, HR, and other key business applications.
  • Application speed and response times
  • Ease of installation and configuration
  • Extremely good reliability
  • Ease of management
  • Configuration and modification to take advantage of new features.
  • Initial Pricing (offset by TCO).
  • Add-on management software can be pricey.
  • It has allowed us to continue to manage the same server set with a small team.
  • Ease of configuration allows us to save money on consulting and implementation hours.
  • Server reliability has allowed us to get scheduled downtime to a minimum.
HP Servers, Dell Servers. The Power9 servers are in a class of their own in reliability, ease of setup and configuration and consistently perform well with different workloads and handling very demanding applications. The total cost of ownership and ease of management with a small team of administrators sealed the deal with our teams.
ERP implementations where reliability is key. BW implementations where it is important to stay in a scale-up configuration. Any analytics where I/O is important. Extremely light workloads, unless many of them can be leveraged into a larger system.
