With PSR Hosting for PartnerWorld Developers (PWD Hosting), you purchase your own new System z CPU—but you house it in PSR's state-of-the-art facility, and use it over a dedicated network or high-speed Internet connection. It's the ideal solution for any developer who wants to build software for the lucrative System z market, but doesn't want the disruption, overhead and capital expense of building and managing a data center.

Avoid data center infrastructure costs. With PWD Hosting you don't have to invest in a raised floor, a cooling system, or dedicated storage, tape drives and power backup equipment—you use ours. This can represent significant savings if you don't have a data center of your own, or if you'd need to expand your data center to accommodate a new CPU.

Concentrate on what you do best. Because your CPU is at our site, we manage everything, making sure your system—and all the affiliated equipment—stays up and running. All you have to do is code.

Equip yourself for 64-bit development—quickly and cost-effectively. Are infrastructure costs blocking your entry into the surging market for 64-bit solutions? PWD Hosting eliminates that hurdle. Once your System z is in place at our facility, you'll have access to everything you need to begin developing next generation systems—without laying out capital for a data center.

Maximize value, minimize headaches with PSR's purchasing expertise. When you purchase your System z through PSR, you'll get the best possible price—because we'll apply every available IBM discount and promotion to your purchase. And should you need to purchase additional OS versions for testing, we'll handle everything—the paperwork, the adjustments to your contract, the IBM approvals—so you don't have to.

Comply with IBM PartnerWorld licensing terms. As a PartnerWorld developer you're entitled System z software free of charge—if and only if that software is licensed for use on a System z CPU you own. With PWD Hosting you own your CPU, and comply with all terms entitling you to no-charge development software.

Add PSR Priority Support for unequalled service. PSR's Priority Support, available separately, backs your system with 300+ years of mainframe experience you can tap, day or night, to solve problems or enhance your development efforts. PWD Hosting customers on Priority Support get the added benefit of support for multiple OS versions—a real time and trouble-saver for developers who need to be compatible with two or more OS releases.

The bottom line: If you're a PWD who plans to develop for System z, you owe it to yourself to look into PWD Hosting—before you sink time and money into your own data center. For more information call PSR today at 800-692-4777.
