Reminder that POWER7 is catching on Fast! | |
|
A reminder that the POWER7 can save you money. If you are on the fence about a new POWER7, take a look at this comparison. For each inquiry, MCS composed a customized analysis showing the capabilities of the installed server vs. a Power6 server and a Power7 server. The analysis will also show the cost of the hardware, software, hardware & software maintenance, and a 3 year TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
The analysis proves that doing nothing costs more than upgrading to a Power6 server or replacing with a Power7 server. How is that possible? 1) Power7 hardware and software costs are very inexpensive; 2) The Power7 server comes with a 3 year hardware warranty; 3) Hardware and software maintenance are much less expensive on Power7; 4) End of year discounts and promotions.
A copy of an actual customer analysis is available for your review, just click HERE. The customer's name has been removed and the serial# of the installed server is X'ed out. But, the actual IBM Configurator output is available upon request. In this real example, the customer saved more than $15,000 over 3 years by replacing an installed iSeries model 520 with a Power 720 and got a faster server with much more capacity.
