DATA PROTECTION
Data loss can be extremely costly to an organization. Not only can it affect an organization’s productivity, but it can also cause legal exposure, damage a company’s reputation, and hinder client relationships. It’s important to find a data backup and recovery solution that is flexible, scalable, and cost-effective. CAS Severn’s team often recommends IBM Spectrum Protect, a data protection platform that gives enterprises a wide range of backup, snapshot, archive, recovery, space management, bare machine recovery, and disaster-recovery capabilities. It can help protect data on systems of all sizes, from a single point of control.

IBM + Nutanix
A simpler, more powerful infrastructure
The strength of IBM Power Systems plus the simplicity of Nutanix private cloud software delivers 2x the price-performance as x86 systems for modern data workloads.
- IBM + Nutanix Data Sheet: IBM Hyperconverged Systems powered by Nutanix. High-performance enterprise infrastructure & private cloud platform
- IDC White Paper: IBM and Nutanix Partnership Expands Hyperconvergence into New Markets Without Compromises. This IDC white paper offers an overview of important hyperconverged and private cloud market trends, with an overview of the recently announced partnership between IBM and Nutanix, highlighting the benefits you can expect from this partnership.
- IDC White Paper: A New Breed of Servers for Digital Transformation: IBM and Nutanix Partnership Expands Hyperconvergence into New Markets Without Compromises. This white paper discusses the digital transformation journey that most organizations are — willingly or unwillingly — on today, why a robust one- or two-socket server infrastructure is a critical component of that journey, and what some of the caveats are for one- or two-socket servers. This white paper defines a road map on one- or two-socket servers for digital transformation in three stages, each with multiple steps — from running simple stateless web applications to adopting open source DBMSs to cloud to predictive modeling. It then talks about the various required parameters for an infrastructure of one- or two-socket servers and goes into the current market landscape for such servers. Finally, this white paper discusses IBM’s OpenPOWER LC servers, which run on POWER8, and some of the differentiators of this portfolio. Challenges and opportunities for both IBM and customers are discussed just before the paper’s conclusion. IDC White Paper: A New Breed of Servers for Digital Transformation
Linux on IBM Power Systems
Solve problems you couldn’t solve before
- Cabot White Paper — HPC and HPDA for the Cognitive Journey with OpenPOWER. Dr Srini Chari, Cabot Partners, discusses offerings from the OpenPOWER Foundation and how using IBM’s data centric design of Power Systems, and OpenPOWER innovation, organizations can cross this performance chasm to get the best possible business outcomes.
- IDC White Paper — A New Breed of Servers for Digital Transformation. There’s a smarter way to scale out. In this paper, IDC challenges IT buyers to compare price-performance versus x86-based servers.
- GeekGuide — Why Innovative App Developers Love High-Speed OSDBMS Take the complexities out of OSDBMS. When traditional databases can’t handle the big data deluge from mobile, social and IoT, open source seems like the obvious choice. Except… there are literally dozens of choices. LinuxJournal’s “Geek Guide,” Why Innovative App Developers Love High-Speed OSDBMS, demystifies the OSDBMS landscape and outlines the challenges and opportunities that open source brings to development: IBM Power Systems and MongoDB for today’s applications. The explosive growth of social applications, big data, mobile access and cloud computing is changing the way applications are developed. There’s less time to build applications than ever before as competition is fierce. Today, apps ship in a few weeks or months, not years. Unstructured data—video, images, audio—is becoming more prevalent, which can be problematic for traditional databases.
