In 2016 and beyond, infrastructure reliability is more essential than ever for business continuity. The overall health of network operations, applications, management and security functions all depend on the core foundational elements: server hardware, server operating systems and virtualization to deliver high availability, robust management and solid security. The reliability of the server, server OS and virtualization platforms are the cornerstones of the entire network infrastructure. The individual and collective reliability of these platforms have a direct, immediate and long lasting impact on daily operations and business results.

Since 2008, corporate enterprise users rated IBM server hardware as the most reliable platform, besting 14 server hardware and 11 different server hardware virtualization platforms. A 61% majority of IBM Power servers and Lenovo System x servers achieved “five nines” or 99.999% availability – the equivalent of 5.25 minutes of unplanned per server downtime compared to 46% of Hewlett-Packard servers and 40% of Oracle server hardware
