The IBM System p5™ servers — the next step in POWER™ technology
If you have one or more older IBM RS/6000® or IBM eServer™ pSeries® servers, chances are very good that an upgrade to a new IBM System p5 could actually help you lower your overall IT costs. In fact, the more complex your infrastructure, the more cost benefits you could realize by upgrading and consolidating now. IBM System p5 servers are designed with industry-leading virtualization capabilities which enable you to run many different workloads, as well as, AIX 5L™ and Linux® operating system (OS) platforms on the same physical box, while managing resources dynamically.

Reducing complexity through a server upgrade or consolidation can save you money not just on hardware, but on software (less processors), space, energy and staff as well.
