A prospective customer is running a database application that cannot be upgraded. They plan to replace it with a DB2-based server environment that can scale in the future.
The prospect has asked why anyone would choose Power Systems servers when Intel-based servers cost less. Which of the following is an effective response?

• A.DB2 on Power Systems delivers more than ten times the throughput per core than on Intel due to exploitation of SMT.
• B.Power Systems servers offer a lower TCO due to greater processor power, virealization technologies and both horizontal and vertical growth.
• C.Core for core, Intel-based servers have more expensive DB2 software licensing costs when compared to Power Systems.
• D.Power Systems servers offer superiority in energy-management technologies and use dramatically less energy while generating much less heat.
