In today’s fast-paced business environment, all enterprises, from the world’s largest
companies to the smallest depend on IT. Enterprise resource planning ( ERP), customer
relationship management (CRM ), and business intelligence ( BI ) all require that transactions
are quickly processed and that the resulting data is reliable as to meet the requirements of the
rapidly changing business environment. The need for higher performance and better reliability
is growing exponentially in enterprise IT platforms.
People no longer consider mainframe systems and vector supercomputers as open enterprise
IT platforms. However if one were able to have supercomputer performance and mainframe
reliability for the cost of an open server in a datacenter, many may reconsider.
Next generation enterprise IT platform
