Overall Satisfaction with IBM Z
Platform solves virtually all major technical issues with low latency, dynamic scaling and spike/surge handling, and hot sparing of all critical components. Compatibility with both 20+ year old applications and the most modern tech all on one platform makes it a great career path as well.
- High speed transaction handling with nearly guaranteed integrity
- Specialty processors for offload of CPU intensive activities like crypto, java
- Fast DR recovery with a single consistency group
- All facilities for extremely tight security are available
- The high centralization lowers environmental costs significantly
- Low cost training/education platforms needed for small companies/individuals
- High transaction throughput with great reliability
- Keeping pace with of new technology -- hardware and software
- Security that stays ahead of hackers and exploits
- Very low staffing requirements compared to highly distributed technology
- High compute density allows for very low inter-service latency
- Current form factor (i.e. 19" racks) makes data center placement easy
Cost, control and staffing for intensive, low or zero-downtime applications can be significantly less costly on Z.
