The tServer enables lower total cost of ownership while preserving your mainframe investment. In fact, the tServer typically has a TCO benefit of 30-60% over IBM™ zSeries systems. The white paper "Managing Total Cost of Ownership in a low-MIPS Mainframe Environment" (pdf) discusses how and why.
Large Return on Investment (ROI): Over a three-year period, the tServer is far more cost-effective than used equipment or a low-end IBM™ zSeries processor. Most companies experience a ROI in as little as 6 months.
Reduced IBM™ and third-party software costs: The under 30 MIPS tServer includes special software pricing from IBM™. Additionally, third-party software savings may be realized when the software moves to a lower Group processor.
Significantly reduced maintenance & environmental costs: The tServer uses standard 120/220-volt power and requires no special cooling. tServer prices include three-year, 7 x 24 hardware warranty from IBM™ with 4-hour on-site response time.
Disaster Replacement Option: The Disaster Replacement Option (DRO) is designed for data centers seeking a low cost disaster recovery option. A low monthly fee gives you access to our "quick ship" capabilities for tServer systems matching or exceeding configurations in your production system.
In the event of an outage, a tServer will be delivered within 24 hours, along with a t3 Engineer ready to begin immediate and continuous installation activity.
The DRO option may be bundled with your new tServer acquisition to augment a total system recovery management plan. |
t3 Technologies is the global market leader for FLEX-ES solutions, having integrated and sold far more systems than any other company.
IBM™ certified components: The tServer is an integrated mainframe solution based on the IBM™ xSeries platform and Fundamental Software’s FLEX-ES application.
Enterprise X-Architecture™ technology combines industry-standard features with IBM™ mainframe-inspired capabilities to produce revolutionary advances in the IBM™ xSeries servers.
FLEX-ES enables Intel-based processing of z/OS, z/VM, VM/ESA, OS/390, VSE/ESA, and Linux for S/390, all without modifications.  |
From its inception, FLEX-ES was designed to be supported remotely. With IBM™ mainframe reliability features in the xSeries servers, hardware problems are infrequent. t3 has leveraged these product capabilities to become the only company with an international FLEX-ES support team. In fact, we have more FLEX-ES trained professionals than any other company. Our depth for supporting FLEX-ES solutions is unmatched.
Installation services: Turn-key including system configuration, on-site installation and a one half-day training session. Our installation checklist contains over 100 items.
Additional tServer Support Services include:
- Annual and one-time instance contracts,
- Level 1 help desk support and problem determination.
