POWER7™ systems were designed to manage the most demanding emerging applications, ranging from smart electrical grids to real-time analytics for financial markets. The new systems incorporate a number of industry-unique technologies for the specialized demands of new applications and services that rely on processing an enormous number of concurrent transactions and data while analyzing that information in real time.
Watch a replay of the POWER7 press and analyst launch event held February 8 in New York City.
Listen to a webcast with Cindy Farach-Carson, associate vice provost for Research at Rice University and a professor of biochemistry and cell biology. Dr. Farach-Carson discusses the role of computation in medical research.
