Client Pain Point • Sprawl - Up to 7,000 scaled out physical servers managed by disparate business units

Challenge • Provide a private-cloud based scale up infrastructure to serve as the backbone of the client’s virtualization initiative

Competitive Landscape • HP: High end x86 standard • Dell: Volume x86 standard • IBM: Not on the standards list • Dell and HP had evaluation servers on site

Bringing the IBM solution to the client • IBM Evaluation Program provided on-site x3850 X5 + MAX5 for a bakeoff • IBM Center for Microsoft Technologies in Kirkland, Washington hosted client to see and hear more about eX5 and memory scaling • Technical Sales Specialist worked closely to help client understand technical advantage of eX5 • VMware Performance Team provided performance data • Local IBM team discussed financial advantages of memory expansion

eX5 Solution • IBM x3850X5+MAX5 • Phase One: 24 systems (four “pods” of six servers) divided between two data centers • Phase Two: 12 Servers (two “pods” of six servers) divided between two data centers • Phase Three: Cloud software deployment

Financial benefit to the client • Savings on software licensing, subscription, and support, • Lower hardware acquisition maintenance, personnel costs • Lower energy consumption • Reduction of future software subscription renewal and support costs, hardware maintenance renewals

Client chooses MAX5 for virtualization infrastructure
