from Big Iron to x86- Save cost and Increase Performance

There many technologies within the marketplace today that allow for the seamless migration from big iron database environments to x86 platforms. Some of the advantages:

RAM: the advancements of flexible and performance-oriented random-access memory have increased considerably over the past decade, from flash, NVDIMM and DRAM, often these advancements are unrecognized in big iron.

PROCESSING: processing power gains found within x86 architecture are often considerably faster, more efficient, and cost less than that found within big iron.

DRIVES: the increase in performance IOPs from spinning disk to flash, and many complementary technologies are updated regularly, frequently multiple times a year, within an x86 architecture, not found in big iron.

I am a supporter of big iron within computing environments where it makes sense; unfortunately, my experiences found that as organizations try to modernize and reduce cost, big iron solutions must have substantial business justifications. Technologies available today to migrate from big iron with little to no interruption in customer experience, within ROI that is typically satisfied with the big iron annual maintenance cost is worth taking a second look.
