Basefarm’s POWERCloud Platform
Basefarm’s POWERCloud Platform offers unmatched performance and resilience for databases and applications running either on AIX, i/OS or Linux. The platform is, as the name suggests, built on cloud principles with state-of-the-art elasticity and flexibility – yet does not compromise on technical security (EAL4+), legal regulations and raw application/database performance.
Due to several extra features on the infrastructure level, which secures reliability, availability and serviceability, we do offer a bit higher SLA on this platform than our other platforms. Our POWERCloud will run a wide range of applications, but is exceptionally well at handling heavy databases and Java applications that require high and steady system throughput. Because of the high clock frequency on CPU’s, low latency architecture and no overhead virtualization layer it often outperforms other platforms when it comes to response times.
Since the platform is built for market leading performance, core-based licenses will typically benefit from this, due to lower occupied processor cores than on other platforms.
Oracle databases will typically have a license saving on 30-50%, which in most cases is significant.
POWERCloud
Also, the POWERCloud is particularly good at running applications for big data, analytics and ERP, such as Hadoop, Cognos, SAP, etc. The platform could also host hybrid HPC environments (High Performance Computing) and even work as a platform where you could offload certain workloads from your main HPC environment, which may be running a different and less effective hardware architecture for that specific workload.
Our POWERCloud is built on IBM Power8 infrastructure and is connected to different types of storage with different characteristics. The software can be virtualized or not, depending on the most optimal license conditions for your application and performance requirements. The hypervisor used is specifically known for minimum overhead, which means that you would actually benefit from the flexibility on virtualization without losing practically any performance on even the heaviest Oracle installations or analytics tools.
Basefarm’s POWERCloud is compatible with applications that run on AIX, Linux and i/OS; all with different advantages, but with the same platform characteristics – unmatched performance, throughput and market leading reliability for scale-up set ups.
Himmelskt utvecklingstempo med Azure
Med Basefarm som hybridmolnpartner lanserar Q-Free Parkering nya lösningar med Microsoft Azure som plattform. Azure-tjänsterna gör innovationstakten många gånger snabbare för Q-Free. Genom att tidigt ingå i processen bidrar Basefarms konsulter till en säker produktion långt innan lanseringen.
Q-Free skapar global molnlösning i Azure i samarbete med Microsoft Azure-partnern Basefarm. Utan standardkomponenterna i Azure skulle Q-Frees ambitiösa innovationstakt ha blivit mycket dyrare. Den här kundberättelsen är en ögonblicksbild (september 2017) från Q-Free Parkerings väg till det publika molnet.
I skrivande stund har företaget genomfört ett stegvist och lyckat koncepttest.

Utmana din arkitektur
– i vilket stadium du än befinner dig
Basefarms uppmaning är alltså att utmana den befintliga arkitekturen genom en ”second opinion”. Det blir exempelvis aktuellt så fort en större förändring är på gång – då den befintliga lösningen inte kommer hålla i längden, eller då du av andra skäl inte är nöjd med den. Oavsett hur långt du har kommit i utvecklingen mot molnet är Basefarms cloud workshops givande – så länge du som deltar vill uppnå förändring:
