Friendly Bank Needs A Flexible, Integrated Solution That Addresses Their Diverse Needs

Friendly Bank CTOIBM

IBM PureFlex System combines storage, networking, compute nodes, virtualization, and management into a single integrated infrastructure….. let’s start by looking at unmatched choice and flexibility.

I have too many servers and my costs are increasing. Is there a way to consolidate and lower my costs?

IBM's internal workload studies are not benchmark applications, nor are they based on any benchmark standard. As such, customer applications, differences in the stack deployed, and other systems variations or testing conditions may produce different results and may vary based on actual configuration, applications, specific queries and other variables in a production environment.
