Most clients still face many of the same old problems of underutilized servers that waste space, energy, and administrative time, but now do so with fewer and fewer resources. Also, many servers are inefficient, insecure and difficult to manage. Clients now desire affordable systems that achieve greater performance, reliability, and the highest levels of security while reducing resource consumption and simplify administration. IBM introduces the new IBM System p™ 520 Express and System p 550 Express servers with the leadership performance of IBM POWER6™ processors, innovative RAS features, highly secure virtualization capabilities of PowerVM™, and support for energy management technologies to help conserve energy and reduce costs.
With the economical System p 550 Express' superior performance, reliability, and innovative Power™ Systems Software like PowerVM, you can have fewer systems with more performance per watt and better system utilization through virtualization. You could consolidate up to 80 Sun Fire V490 servers filling up to 10 racks into a single 42U rack with only 10 System p 550 Express servers. That's 640 processor cores versus 80 processor cores! You could save up to $165,000 in energy related costs annually1! This does not even include the potential savings on space and software licenses. In addition, IBM is also providing the capability to manage the energy of a single server with new IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager for POWER™ software, which when used with the POWER6 processor exclusive IBM EnergyScale™ technology in the System p 520 and 550 Express, enables you to monitor and manage the energy and thermals of a server, helping you become even more energy efficient.
