Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The Power systems scored by being able to support more SAP instances and significantly larger workloads, more granular workload management, higher system administrator productivity, and better energy efficiency.
"The outstanding SAP benchmark result and the ITG study demonstrate two more ways that IBM beats the competition hands down," said Scott Handy, vice president of marketing, strategy and sales support, IBM Power Systems.
"Today we are reasserting Power Systems and our performance prowess in the SAP space, and at the same time showing an end-to-end solution with a total cost of ownership package that is the ideal fit for today's data center.
"IBM Power Systems with PowerVM virtualization and Systems Director advanced management offer the perfect alternative for Sun and HP UNIX clients currently on Solaris or HP/UX who are not only facing unplanned chip delays or cancellations but also may be left without a long term SPARC or Intel Itanium processor roadmap."
Murray Goulburn Co-Operative is among IBM's local customers. It replaced seven Sun servers with one Power Systems server, using virtualisation to run SAP applications.
"IBM Power Systems servers offer scalability, expandability and the potential to vary our costs to some extent in peak times with the ability to call processors on or turn them off," said Paul Stancill, the co-operative's IT manager.
