customer environment. IBM's internal workload studies are not benchmark applications, nor are they based on any benchmark standard. Customer
applications, differences in the stack deployed, and other systems variations or testing conditions may produce different results and may vary based
on actual configuration, applications, specific queries and other variables in a production environment. Pricing based on published US list prices
