Optimize cost and performance

Maximize the benefits of the IBM Z and LinuxONE platform strengths to deliver performance with co-location and cost savings through optimized infrastructure efficiency and consolidation.

Deploy cloud on IBM Z and LinuxONE by adopting Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to co-locate cloud apps close to mainframe data and applications, for example running on IBM z/OS, to achieve low response time and meet enterprise SLA, leverage cloud native development and tooling to achieve consistency across the enterprise and a growing ISV ecosystem.

Consolidate infrastructure to optimize hardware and software costs. Because not only Data Management software is licensed by the total number of Linux cores it is running on, but these costs also continue to increase rapidly with x86 servers and in addition to greenhouse gas emissions.

The IBM Z and LinuxONE platforms can address these challenges while providing the industry’s leading performance, high availability and resiliency.

Smooth out costs and best leverage consumption-based pricing.- Ranging from embracing new flexible on-prem pricing models, referred to as Tailored Fit Pricing, to shifting completely to a mainframe-as-a-service colocation model.

Fit architecture to business outcomes and removes the ‘peak-based’ approach, unlocking capacity responsiveness to the business. On-prem consumption-based pricing enables like-for-like with cloud consumption models with comparable transparency and granularity.
