On-Demand Webinar: Preparing for Your Next Epic Data Center Upgrade: The Case for High Performance Compute

On-Demand Recording

Duration: 1 hour

Overview

Larger and more frequent infrastructure upgrades are required to support growth, meet Epic’s performance requirements and respond to their report cards and alerts. Additionally, Epic environments running on IBM Power Systems are looking to lower costs with x86 standardization - while maintaining or increasing performance. While a robust computing foundation is clearly vital to manage Epic with reliability, performance, and scalability, the available choices have not kept pace.

This educational webinar will discuss technical strategies around HPE’s Epic-validated Superdome Flex High Performance Compute to support Epic Operational Databases and Epic Clarity/Cogito databases. Attendees will learn the following:

Key takeaways:

  • Scale without Migrations – grow databases by non-disruptively adding blocks of compute
  • Standardize – same x86 platform across all Epic tiers
  • Performance - outpaces IBM Power Series with 85 million GRefs
  • Avoid ECP Licensing Costs - stay with SMP architecture if preferred
  • RAS – Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability to protect Epic applications and data
  • Affordability & Lowering Costs – TCO and ‘as a service’ options
  • HPE/Epic/Comport – longstanding partnerships
  • Questions are welcome
