Switch to a higher power
As your organisation expands and evolves, your IT infrastructure doesn’t just need to keep up with the pace, it needs to exceed it. IBM POWER7 is the leader in its class with a clear roadmap and 3 x the performance compared to our competitors.
It allows for fast installation of new applications and services, cutting down deployment times from weeks to days. It also helps reduce your energy expenditure while simplifying your IT systems administration, maintenance and trouble shooting workloads.
It comes as no surprise that over 1,100 organisations have made the switch to IBM Power in the last year alone. With IBM making it easier and simpler to migrate to Power systems, there’s never been a better time to take advantage of the superior performance of POWER7

Why make the switch to POWER7?
Optimise your workloads
- New Intelligent Threads technology dynamically switches the processor-threading mode to deliver optimal performance for different workloads.
- TurboCore mode offers the option to optimise the system for frequency and cache utilisation delivering the maximum per core performance for database and transaction workloads.
- Active Memory Expansion helps reduce memory costs by enabling physical memory to be logically expanded up to 100 percent for some workloads – such as SAP.
Virtualise your IT
- IBM PowerVM and VMControl virtualisation software plans support for up to 1,000 virtual machines for AIX, IBM System i and Linux applications workloads on a single POWER7 processor- based system.
- PowerVM Live Partition Mobility enables companies to eliminate many scheduled outages by easily migrating applications between POWER6 and POWER7 systems.
Automate your systems
IBM Systems Director provides advanced physical and virtual server platform management with a broad choice of packages that include the cross-platform virtualisation management capability of VMControl, and selected Tivoli enterprise service management tools.
Save your energy
Smarter systems make better use of energy to help organisations save costs and contribute to a better environment. IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager exploits Intelligent Energy optimisation features such as POWER7 EnergyScale technologies to dynamically balance energy utilisation with maximum performance.
