Organizations struggle with key technology challenges supporting
insights, change, and speed
Understanding Data
Digital intelligence is a primary
competitive advantage
Yet 88% of all data today is
unstructured and invisible to
computers1
“The next wave will be all about
connecting dots and correlating data
to produce actionable insights.”
–CIO, Retail, United States2
Keeping Pace
Superior technology delivers
superior performance
Yet the pace of innovation (72%)
is now the top CEO challenge,
even greater than security
(66%)3
“Disruptive technologies could
change the fundamentals of our
business”
–Kazuo Hirai, CEO, Sony
Corporation, Japan4
Accelerating Time-to-
Market
Sustainable success is now
measured in days, not weeks
Outperforming CxOs are 95%
more likely to focus on being
first to market4
“We’ve been charged with speeding
up
time-to-market, both for the products
we sell and for our own internal tools.”

but Mother-In-Law is taken ill
• Hospitalised in Lisbon
• Insurance company take 12 days to
validate cover
• Father-In-Law is the real concern
• Twitter storm

running MongoDB
• Assumptions:
• 7xPower S822LC for Big Data/20c servers with KVM (40% utilization) have equivalent performance as
10xHPDL380/E5-2690 v4/28c servers with KVM (40% utilization)
• Discounts: PowerS822LC – 35%, HP DL380 – 35%, MongoDB – 0%, OracleEE – 70%
• Based on IBM internal testing of single system and OS image running Yahoo Cloud Services Benchmark (YCSB)
0.6.0, 1M record workload at 50/50 read/write factor. Results valid as of 8/24/16. Conducted under laboratory
condition, individual result can vary based on workload size, use of storage subsystems & other conditions.

MongoDB running on POWER8 Price-Performance Guarantee - UK
• • •
IBM Power Systems guarantees the S822LC for Big Data system built with POWER8 delivers at least a 1.8 X price-performance advantage
versus x86 based servers when running a customer application/workload based on MongoDB.
1.8 X price-performance means that the customer's documented throughput performance on the S822LC POWER8 divided by the price of the system
will be at least 1.8 times the customer's documented throughput performance on the comparably configured x86 based system divided by the price of
the such x86 system.
EX: If transactions per second on the S822LC are 18,000 vs. 10,000 on the x86 based system, while the price of the S822LC is £10,000, and the price of
the x86 based system is £10,000, then the Throughput Performance Per Price would be exactly 1.8 times that of such x86 based system and the
guarantee would be met.
Notes:
1. Client’s POWER8 Machine and the x86 Machine must be running at similar utilisation rates.
2. Client’s POWER8 Machine’s system performance cannot be constrained by I/O subsystem. Specifically, the I/O subsystem on the POWER8 Machines must achieve greater than or equal I/O bandwidth and operations per second than the x86 Machine.
3. Client’s POWER8 Machine’s physical memory must be the same as or greater than the physical memory on the x86 Machine.
4. Client is responsible for demonstrating comparable representative workload between the POWER8 Machine and the x86 based system through the use of the IBM recommended tools and comparable tools on x86 systems.
5. This guarantee applies only to server sales in UK only.
6. 1.8x guarantee is based on list price for the x86 based server (Dell, Cisco, HP or Lenovo) and the list price for the IBM S822LC for Big Data.
The IBM Power S822LC for Big Data server (20-core/2.92 GHz) must be purchased from IBM or an authorised IBM Business Partner prior to March 31, 2017. The
guarantee period is valid for 90 days from the date of purchase. The x86 based systems must be comparably configured branded servers from Cisco, Dell, HP, or
Lenovo and the customer is responsible for all MongoDB licences.
1.8 X throughput performance per price means that the customer's documented throughput performance on the S822LC POWER8 system based on either queries,
operations or transactions per second divided by the price of the such system will be at least 1.8 times that of the customer's same documented throughput
performance on the x86 based system divided by the price of such comparable x86 based system.
Remediation: IBM will provide additional performance optimisation and tuning services consistent with IBM Best Practices, at no charge. If unable to reach
guaranteed level of price-performance, IBM will provide additional equally configured systems to those already purchased to reach the guaranteed level of price-
performance.
