Facilitating cost-effective high availability and performance
According to industry experts, the hourly cost of downtime can be as high as US$8,213,470 in some industries.1 But that figure doesn't factor in the additional price you can pay in loss of market position, reputation and customer loyalty. To stay competitive, you need to ensure that critical information is readily accessible when you most need it. And that means ensuring nearly continuous availability as well as effectively using your server resources to maximize application performance.
IBM Implementation Services for Parallel Sysplex® Middleware – WebSphere® Application Server (WAS) enablement can help you quickly leverage WAS in an IBM System z™ Parallel Sysplex environment to achieve the highest possible levels of availability, scalability, and workload sharing and balancing. We can provide the knowledge, experience and resources required to deliver timely, cost-effective planning, configuration and migration to WAS network deployment.
