IT executives face a complex series of decisions when they plan the next step in technical architecture and infrastructure. If done properly the IT group provides a technology platform that enables business agility. If done poorly, IT constrains to the organization, creating barriers to corporate agility and profitability.

Configuring the next upgrade or replacement for your POWER infrastructure usually involves calling an IBM business partner and having them provide a suggested configuration and price. The problem is, most partners don’t take the time to understand your needs, business plans, and most importantly, your budget.

The Agile team will design your next POWER system utilizing the IBM tools provided to any business partner, in addition to several proprietary and commercial tools. We will assess the current system’s performance and capacity, and project the new system’s capacity and expected performance.
