Why the Mainframe?... Why NOT the Mainframe?<br />
How can I afford a System z Mainframe?<br />
Can you afford not to have one is the better question<br />
Often times, customers find the<br />
mainframe offers the lowest TCO<br />
Multiple hardware and software pricing options to suit<br />
your business<br />
– System z provides variable hardware and software pricing<br />
metrics to better align costs with resources consumed and<br />
utilization<br />
– Aggressive software pricing for new workloads<br />
Add capacity either permanently or temporarily<br />
– For seasonal demand<br />
– For backup / recovery purposes<br />
Some customers are finding that the mainframe can be less<br />
expensive to operate. One customer replaced its Intel ®<br />
servers with a System z9 mainframe that had the new features.<br />
At the end of this technology rollout, this customer will save on<br />
their software budget… without impacting their capacity<br />
growth. "<strong>The</strong> mainframe really delivered on its promise for<br />
this customer.“<br />
