What our clients are saying:
“Since implementing the IBM Power servers and DS storage, we have experienced 100 percent uptime in terms of server operation,” comments Legler. “The performance, reliability and stability of our hardware platform are better than ever before, and we can easily grow the system to keep pace with the dynamic growth of DKSH.”
Matthias Legler, Vice President of IT at DKSH
“As soon as we looked at the projected total costs, we saw that the IBM Power Systems platform running IBM i would be 40 percent less expensive. The tight integration between operating system, database and virtualization layer dramatically cuts infrastructure administration costs.”
