Reduced system downtime due to 3.5 system reboots avoided per year, which saves a halfhour per reboot. Interviewed decision-makers shared that their organizations saw significantly reduced downtime since switching to IBM i, leading to cost savings. Since interviewees’ organizations struggled with unplanned systems downtime as often as every week, averting the loss of revenue or operational data was a significant driver for adopting IBM i. Because IBM i could scale and adjust to growth and sudden demand, it avoided the reliability issues of the interviewees’ prior solutions. The software architect for the financial services organization elaborated: “The reliability [of IBM i] is really what lets us run it this hard, right? I can really use my processor, really use the power of our hardware, and it just keeps going.” Total reboot downtime avoided per year 1.75 hours Three-year total benefit PV $1.1 million 41%
