Rationalizing enterprise Power Systems

Enterprise Power Systems are the servers and software at the core of your Power enterprise IT infrastructure. IBM Rational® solutions for enterprise Power Systems™ provide you the tools to accelerate development and delivery of multiplatform applications on IBM AIX®, IBM i, and Linux® operating systems that can help you:

  • Optimize system utilization by exploiting new POWER7+ and POWER7 hardware and existing system capabilities to provide the best performance for your applications. The IBM Rational high performance compilers for C/C++, COBOL, Fortran, PL/I, and RPG help you optimize your code for your system, reducing CPU cycles consumed for a given task from 20-60%, maximizing your IBM hardware investments.1
  • Boost productivity and accelerate innovation with modern development environments. IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software, IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere® software, and IBM Rational Business Developer offer a common developer desktop environment delivering integrated development tools for AIX, IBM i, and Linux operating systems across multiple languages, and providing 22-37% improvement in developer productivity.2
  • Increase flexibility by integrating, modernizing and extending application portfolios to modern user interfaces, Web and mobile. IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software, IBM Rational Host Access Transformation Services (HATS), and IBM Rational Migration Extension can help you extend the value of your existing investments in IBM i, AS/400®, iSeries®, System i®, green screen, RPG, and COBOL applications by exploiting decades-worth of business value embodied in these systems and opening them up to new uses and users without changing the back-end logic.
  • Maximize organizational agility by leveraging a common team infrastructure. IBM Rational Team Concert offers a common server infrastructure enabling collaborative coordination and governance for development teams for all your programming environments. “Our clients are realizing productivity improvements exceeding 20% while increasing business efficiencies through automated, faster, and error-free production deployments.” 3 IBM Rational Test Workbench delivers end-to-end functional, regression, load, and integration testing to address the quality challenges of highly complex applications.
