IBM recently announced multiple leading benchmark results for the Linux operating system running on the IBM Power 730 Express, which bested comparable hardware platforms running Linux or Windows. With greater throughput per server, more scalable virtualisation with less overhead, and more efficient scale-out computing with fewer servers to manage, IBM Power Linux systems help enterprises realise the innovation and economics of smarter computing through improved performance.
The IBM Power Linux system easily surpassed results of comparable Dell, HP and Oracle systems on the following benchmarks:
”New scale-out workloads like Big Data and Cloud are emerging from the Linux community and changing the way the world works,” said Scott Handy, Vice President, Power Linux Ecosystem Acceleration at IBM.
“Industry-standard Linux on IBM Power Systems is tuned to the task, thus helping clients reduce workload costs. IBM is increasing our focus on and investment in exploiting the advantages of Linux on Power Systems to make our clients more competitive for select new Linux oriented workloads.”
“Since 2007, SAP has recommended SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for running SAP solutions,” said Michael Miller, Vice President, Global Alliances & Marketing at SUSE. “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server combined with IBM Power 730 Express delivers superior performance and scalability, enabling businesses to effectively manage large numbers of users and high volumes of system traffic each and every day.”
