Ease of use, performance, availability, and scalability

The initial setup is very easy, user-friendly, and not complex. It mostly comes with all installed, an operating system, database, and security, all included in Power Systems. So users can easily install, configure, and use it. It's integrated with other systems. You can run different systems from IBM Power Systems, AIX Linux, or IBM I operating system. It's also integrated into Windows systems and other databases and servers.

A reliable and scalable solution that can be used to ensure workloads are replicated when needed

A couple of years back, our data center was located in Fort Lauderdale, known as Hurricane Alley. We would swing our workloads or production data center into our Dallas data center from July the first until the whole hurricane season. Once hurricane season was done, we would swing everything back to South Florida on November the first. Currently, we have a state-of-the-art data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Since it is a location with no hurricanes, we've got less movement from a failing-over perspective. From a compliance perspective, we need to show our compliance partners that we can cut over a data center should we need to and run out of a different data center somewhere else. This is necessary for compliance, insurance, and HIPAA compliance.
