Amid economic uncertainty and constrained IT budgets, a global manufacturer in Illinois needed to rapidly boost mainframe computing power to meet unexpected production demands. Faced with prohibitive costs, OEM backorders, and lead times, they turned to Service Express. By deploying a previous-generation IBM Z system—delivering 10,000 additional MIPs—they avoided a full hardware refresh and achieved over $1 million in CapEx savings. Layering third‑party maintenance (TPM) further reduced OpEx by more than $300,000 per year, ensuring continued performance and agility under pressure.

Now, the manufacturer confidently ramps computing power to meet production peaks—backed by budget-savvy infrastructure and trusted support from Service Express.
