Faster, better business results

New competitive advantage More productivity and efficiency Better customer experience

Customer challenges on mission-critical computing

4

Business Processing and Decision Support workloads

“We’re deploying new applications on x86 and need more reliability than we have today.”

“I’m not happy with the downtime required for system maintenance.”

“I need more scalability and availability for our existing x86 applications.”

“We need to reduce our operational costs for mission-critical applications.”

“I’m not getting the x86 performance we require for our core database.”

Redefine compute economics

Boost business performance

Breakthrough x86 scalability and cost efficiencies

Record-setting x86 performance

Accelerate IT service delivery

Superior x86 uptime for mission-critical workloads

The right compute for the right workload at the right economics … every time

x86 performance not there for core database

X-86 uptime can’t meet all mission-critical SLAs

4-socket x86 scale-up not sufficient

High cost of RISC/UNIX systems
