With the new requirements for more data to get to more users without
delay, Florida Hospital is looking to System z to meet its expanded data
warehouse needs. “Distributed platforms and other competitive solutions
cannot handle huge blasts of data quickly—you have to slowly feed data
to these systems,” says Goodman. “But with System z we can firehose
data without sacrificing performance and uptime. For example, we have
loaded 100,000 rows of data in under two minutes on System z.”
