Case Study: EVERTEC achieves faster, leaner transaction processing with IBM System z

Ensures leaner, faster processing for billions of transactions

Evertec, a financial transaction processor in Latin America and the Caribbean, faced challenges with its growing distributed server infrastructure. The high operating costs, limited capacity for growth, and low resource utilization were threatening performance and control. To ensure the 24/7 reliability required for its billions of annual transactions, Evertec turned to vendor IBM for a solution.

IBM provided a solution centered on the IBM zEnterprise EC12 system. By migrating its Oracle databases to this mainframe platform and utilizing z/VM virtualization, Evertec achieved significant cost savings, faster server provisioning, and improved performance. The results included a more agile business with a lower total cost of ownership and a reliable, scalable platform for future growth.
