The facts that really matter

There are no idle claims here; no hyperbole. IBM’s solutions apply high-performance technology to deliver genuine business results. For example, IBM’s data warehouse appliance starts delivering results right out of the box so you can benefit from minimal set-up and rapid deployment as well as low total cost of ownership. And IBM’s DB2 greatly reduces the effort and risks involved in consolidating your databases. Now take a close look at the facts:

Analytics
Plug and play with IBM’s Netezza. Or plug and wait with Oracle Exadata. Netezza. Up and running in 24 hours, not 24 days.
Transactions
DB2 on Power Systems. Love it for 3x performance. Buy it for as low as 1/3 the price. Are you overpaying for Oracle Database? Hint. You’re overpaying for Oracle Database.
Mixed Workloads
1000 Oracle / Sun clients recently upgraded. To IBM Power Systems.
Application Servers
Virtualise more with WebSphere. Or pay more with WebLogic.
System Z
Shrink IT costs up to 50% with IBM System z.
Consolidation
IBM supports Itanium customers.
