Ebe it ee eeee.• Better reliability and

serviceability means your mission-critical Red Hat

Enterprise Linux systems and applications are avail-

able when your users require them. And your ability to

dynamically shift resources allows you to be responsive

to their needs for the highest priority applications.

me k.• Systems scalability, on-demand capa-

bilities, and seamless upgrades mean you can rapidly

respond to shifts in market dynamics by keeping your

business-critical systems always available. Additionally,

disaster recovery capabilities protect you from unantic-

ipated events — both internal and external.

rEd Hat EntErprisE linux: tHE world’s lEading

opEn sourcE application platform

Amidst the current turbulent economic conditions, the

value proposition of low cost, high value open source solu-

tions resonates more than ever. Red Hat Enterprise Linux,in particular, is lauded worldwide for its ease of use, high

performance, security, and affordability, and is seeing

unprecedented acceleration of adoption over alternative

platforms. Because thousands of independent software

vendor (ISV) applications have been certifed on Red Hat

Enterprise Linux, your commercial off-the-shelf software

(COTS) applications are readily available. And Red Hat’s

dominance in the market means that you can easily fnd

the skills and resources you need to support your business.

Although times are tough, the economic situation inevi-

tably will improve. You need an IT infrastructure that will

simultaneously carve out costs today and allow you to

expand and compete aggressively tomorrow. Red Hat® 

Enterprise Linux® running on IBM® Power Systems can

help you do both. In addition to helping you survive the

current economic downturn by improving hardware uti-

lization, reducing energy consumption, and increasing

employee productivity, Red Hat Enterprise Linux on the

IBM Power System gives you the high performance, scal-

ability, and modularity you need to thrive going forward.

A rapidly rising number of companies are achieving sig-

nifcant competitive advantage by running Red Hat

Enterprise Linux on IBM Power Systems. With this hard-

ware/operating system combination’s virtualization,

energy-saving, and productivity-enhancing capabilities,

you can:

ree .• The increased performance and 60 to80 percent higher utilization improvements due to vir-

tualization means you need fewer and smaller systems

overall. You’ll see a signifcant decrease in management

overhead, software licensing, energy usage, and other

expenses as well. And by moving Linux workloads onto

a single Power System, your IT employees can do more

with less, reducing your overall administrative costs.

According to IDC, the payback period for a Linux-IBM

Power Systems implementation — including hardware,

software, consulting services, training, and IT staff to

manage the server platforms — was just 6.3 months.

iBm and rEd Hat: morE tHan 10 yEars

of closE collaBoration

IBM and Red Hat have been partners for more than a

decade, collaborating with and supporting each other

to deliver value and innovation to their joint customers

around the world. Both companies are committed whole-

heartedly to open source in general and Linux in parti-

cular. Red Hat is the single largest contributor to the Linuxoperating system in the world, and IBM is the largest hard-

ware contributor, according to the Linux Foundation.

And because Red Hat Enterprise Linux is supported as a

Tier 1 operating system on the IBM Power Systems family,

you can choose one-stop shopping that includes contract-

ing for support for both the hardware and the operating

system from IBM. Or, if you prefer, you can purchase

Red Hat Enterprise Linux independently and receive

support directly from Red Hat.

BusinEss rEsiliEncy

IBM Power Systems allow you to do more with less. Their

virtualization capabilities let you dynamically share pro-

cessors, memory, and I/O across operating environments,

increasing utilization by more than 60 percent, reducing

energy costs 60 to 80 percent, and rapidly respondingto your changing business needs. By supporting your end

users with around-the-clock availability and reliability, you

get the most from your IT infrastructure at a cost lower

than you could have imagined.
