Enhance Efficiency with IBM Power and AIX for Oracle Workloads

IBM Power [PLL1] and AIX combined for Oracle workloads presents a game-changing opportunity for organizations to optimize their software licensing costs. By consolidating numerous workloads onto fewer servers, businesses can significantly increase system utilization. This efficiency translates to a reduced demand for Oracle licenses and creates a financial advantage.

Modernize with Confidence

As the scope of data continues to expand at a rapid pace, the challenge of modernizing IT infrastructure becomes more demanding.  IBM Power and the IBM AIX operating system provides a strong foundation for modernizing traditional Oracle database workloads, driving new application development, and facilitating workload consolidation.

Automate with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

The Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform empowers clients to efficiently manage Oracle workloads on IBM Power within the framework of their broader enterprise automation strategy. This seamless integration offers a streamlined approach to database management, bolstering enabling efficiency and flexibility. Check them out in Galaxy: DB Installation, RAC Installation, and Oracle DB Management.

IBM Power S1014 Servers and Oracle Database SE2

With IBM Power S1014 servers running Oracle Database SE2, organizations have the potential to lower application costs per database instance by an impressive 33% when compared to fourth-generation Intel Xeon scalable processors[1]. Not only does this prove a financial benefit, but it also paves the way for a decrease in the overall number of servers required, lowering overall energy utilization.

Unparalleled Reliability

Oracle's certification of its products on Power systems provides a multitude of benefits. These include comprehensive end-to-end support, exceptional portability, and unmatched efficiency. Notably, IBM Power provides an exceptional reliability rate of 99.999%, ensuring maximum availability[2]. This reliability is further fortified by the symbiotic combination of the AIX OS and IBM PowerHA technology. Together, they grant clients unparalleled uptime, along with the capability to oversee availability proactively, curbing both planned and unforeseen outages.

In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, leveraging IBM Power servers and Oracle software certification isn't just an option—it's a strategic move that promises cost savings, modernization confidence, and unmatched reliability. Discover the potential of this dynamic synergy today.
