Performance comparison based on IBM Internal tests comparing IBM LinuxONE private cloud with one comparably configured private x86 cloud running an aggregation of light, medium and heavy workloads designed to replicate typical IBM customer workload usage in the marketplace.  System configurations are based on equivalence ratios derived from IBM internal studies. Price comparison estimates based on a 3yr Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) using publicly available U.S. prices (including a 20% discount for middleware) current as of January 1, 2015. LinuxONE and x86 TCO estimates include costs of infrastructure (system, memory, storage, virtualization, OS, cloud management), middleware, power, floor space and labor. Results may vary based on actual workloads, system configurations, customer applications, queries and other variables in a production environment and may produce different results. Users of this document should verify the applicable data for their specific environment.

If a core fails, a spare can be “turned on” without system or program interruption

22

• Each LinuxONE server has two cores designated as spare• Core failover (called sparing) is transparent to applications• Spares need not be local to the same chip, node or drawer• Any core can failover to a spare

x86 servers do not have core

Achieve 100% continuous availability

23

• Applications restarted in another site when disaster event occurs

• Single point of control and automation, reliable and rapid recovery

• Keeps data available and consistent• Protects against disk subsystem failures

…You’re running very large I/O- or cache-intensive workloads like database applications or transaction processing

…Your insights and engagement are time-sensitive

…You’re looking to consolidate large numbers of servers

…Your software license costs are unsustainable
