Florian, why is IBM Power still an important platform for many companies today?
What are the typical requirements our customers have for their IBM Power Systems?
When dealing with large volumes of data, IBM Power offers clear advantages: the platform is designed for in-memory workloads and mixed workloads (OLTP/OLAP); SAP databases can be scaled flexibly during operation without changing platforms.
Even large data landscapes can be efficiently consolidated, while maintaining stable and highly available performance. This is complemented by requirements for security, compliance, and long-term operation.
What sets DATAGROUP apart in the IBM Power environment?
We take an end-to-end approach – that is, we consider applications and the platform together. Customers don’t receive an isolated operation, but rather an integrated solution within their IT landscape.
What exactly does "managed service" mean?
For customers, this means less technical complexity and the ability to focus fully on their own business.
How do customers benefit from outsourcing?
What role do security, availability, and stability play?
In a nutshell: Why DATAGROUP?
Because DATAGROUP operates IBM Power as a secure, scalable managed-service architecture – with decades of experience, strong SAP expertise, and clear business value.
