Tabs for Advantages pages.

IBM's goal is to provide you the most energy efficient computing environment possible. POWER™ processor-based systems deliver leadership performance per watt and PowerVM™ enables consolidation of energy-wasting, underutilized servers. In addition, IBM's POWER6™ architecture with EnergyScale™ technology can provide unique energy management capability. These features, enabled through IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ software under the IBM Director console, allow users to measure the power usage of system components and adjust policies toward the energy-efficient operation of the server environment.

Server consolidation

Server consolidation is one of the best ways for businesses to increase IT efficiency while reducing overall costs and energy consumption. Power™ servers offer the performance and the proven virtualization capabilities you need to enable a successful consolidation of your applications on the AIX® and Linux® operating systems.

Energy management

IBM Power servers include support for power and cooling management technologies that can help you conserve energy and reduce costs. IBM's POWER6 architecture with EnergyScale technology offers features such as power trending, power saving, power capping and thermal measurement.

Virtualization

The virtualization capabilities of the IBM Power server are characterized by high levels of performance and system optimization — both key contributors to improved energy efficiency. Virtualization can help you make better use of your IT assets and significantly improve server utilization and I/O resource sharing.
