There are a dizzying array of options in the world of server systems. However, one name still stands above all the others: Big Blue. IBM has maintained its edge in business systems over the years, and their current line of IBM Power7 servers are easily the best on the market. Here are five reasons why:
Understanding Cloud Computing
Cloud computing and virtualization have completely changed the way that businesses deal with their IT infrastructure. It sounds extreme, but it’s true. Even though cloud computing has been around for over a decade, mostly in consumer applications such as Google’s Gmail, it’s only been in the past few years that business has begun to seriously look at it. In that span of time, it’s grown to be one of the most powerful forces in IT today.
Support To End For IBM i V5R4 Operating System
IBM has announced that it is withdrawing service for the IBM i V5R4 operating system as of September 30, 2013. As a result, it is recommended that end-users of the old iSeries, System i, and Power platforms with the legacy IBM i V5R4 OS migrate to the IBM Power7 platform and IBM i V6R1 or IBM i V7 operating systems prior to that deadline next year. IBM is offering an additional discount for end-users to migrate to Power7, and the additional discount must be approved by IBM. Most, but not all, older systems will qualify for the discount.
