Reduced application downtime + increased flexibility to dynamically scale and change workload capacity

Annual savings of over $500,000 + accelerated new services deployment from 1 month to 2 days

Fewer processor cores than previous Sun servers reduced software and management costs + PowerVM simplified the effort to deploy or scale new services

Consolidated and virtualized 76 servers to 6 – reducing complexity and total cost of ownership of global IT infrastructure
