Designing for cognitive business
means
thinking differently about
analytics and data
ProcessorsSupports growth of users, reports and complex queries
MemoryDelivers faster
analytics results for real-time decisions
CacheHandles large volumes
of data for better response times
4Xthreads per core compared to x86
4Xmemory bandwidth compared to x861
4Xmore cache
compared to x862
Optimized for a broad range of data & analytics workloads
Power Systems Design is Data Centric
Unmatched support for SAP HANA
• Flexibility unmatched by Intel • Superior PowerVM virtualization for
coexistence of current SAP and new HANA instances
• Resiliency• Unsurpassed RAS of enterprise
Power Systems servers for mission critical SAP applications
• Performance and scalability• POWER8 has double the
memory/core ratio of Intel and highest throughput per core
Open Source Databases
“By 2018, more than 70% of new in-house applications will be
developed on an OSDBMS
and… 50% of existing commercial RDBMS instances will have been converted or will be in
process.”
