See How We Optimize IBM Power & AIX for Maximum Performance and Efficiency
Tuning turns your Power system into a beast. See how we’ve crushed slowdowns and cut costs for Major Banks and IBM Partners.
Cutting Batch Job Overruns by 40% After a Power10 Upgrade
🏦 Client: Leading South African Bank
🔍 Problem:
After migrating to Power10, batch jobs were overrunning by 40%, causing costly SLA fines and executive frustration.
⚙ Root Cause:
PowerVM tuning not optimized for Power10 — LPARs were misconfigured, causing latency on the hypervisor level.
✅ Solution:
- Adjusted LPAR CPU allocation to eliminate hypervisor bloat.
- Tuned PowerVM settings for higher core efficiency.
- Adjusted network and I/O configurations for faster processing.
🔥 Results:
Batch jobs 40% faster.
Core utilization hit 85% (up from 50%), boosting software license ROI.
Zero SLA violations post – fix.
Team off the hot seat — finally.
🎯 Key Takeaway:
Even a Power10 upgrade won’t fix performance issues without proper tuning.
Fixing Power10 Migration Slowdowns for a Major Car Finance Company
🚘 Client: $750M Car Finance Company
🔍 Problem:
Power10 migration caused performance to drop instead of improve, delaying critical workflows and racking up $10K/week in overtime.
⚙ Root Cause:
LPAR settings didn’t match their workload profile for Power10 — CPU wasn’t optimized, causing inefficiencies.
✅ Solution:
- Analyzed CPU and memory allocations to identify inefficiencies.
- Adapted the LPAR layout for Power10 to match their workload profile.
- Optimized I/O & network performance to reduce processing delays.
🔥 Results:
Processing 63% faster.
Batch jobs steady – sales contracts on time.
Cut Oracle Database licensing costs by 53% – saving $800K and $170K/year in support.
🎯 Key Takeaway:
Upgrading to Power10 alone won’t deliver peak performance or cost savings — optimization is critical. By fine-tuning LPAR configurations, Trinity1 achieves up to 64% performance boosts and cuts Oracle Database licensing costs by 53%, saving our clients millions.
Helping an IBM Business Partner Close a $2.7M Storage Bid
🤝 Client: IBM Business Partner
🔍 Problem:
Their $2.7M storage bid was on the ropes — PowerVM bottlenecks threatened to tank it.
⚙ Root Cause:
The client’s PowerVM & LPAR settings were outdated, leading to underutilized resources and poor efficiency, choking I/O to their storage arrays.
✅ Solution:
- Tuned it to smash their old runtime record.
- Conducted a full PowerVM performance audit to identify bottlenecks.
- Provided a step-by-step tuning & optimization strategy.
🔥 Results:
Sealed a $2.7M storage deal.
Batch times 30% faster.
Partner’s cred through the roof.
🎯 Key Takeaway:
IBM Partners can win bigger deals by bringing in specialized PowerVM expertise.
