IBM Power Systems advantages

Power is the ultimate platform for compute intensive workloads

Enterprise Systems

IBM Power Enterprise Systems enable faster business insights with the highest service levels of performance, resiliency, scalability and virtualization flexibility for critical data and applications. Enterprise systems are designed to be at the core of an enterprise IT infrastructure and include Capacity on Demand (on selected servers) to respond quickly and efficiently to changing business demands.

IBM Power 795: The most powerful system ever with up to 256 POWER7 processor cores and 16 TB of memory enables capability to consolidate up to 1,000 Virtual Machines.

IBM Power 780: Modular high-end system with up to 128 POWER7+ cores and 4 TB of memory in four nodes delivers leadership flexibility, scalability and resiliency vs. all other competitive servers.

IBM Power 770: Innovative modular server that provides non-disruptive growth from four to 64 POWER7+ processor cores, all with enterprise class RAS.

IBM Power 760: For virtualized consolidation of medium sized business workloads and demanding environments where uptime is critical, features one to four processor sockets and 12 to 48 POWER7+ processor cores, with processor Capacity on Upgrade on Demand, and up to 2 TB of memory.

IBM Power 750: For server consolidation and virtualization projects, features one to four processor sockets and eight to 32 POWER7+ processor cores. The Power 750 is the server that was used by Watson, and is now enhanced with greater capacity, expanded and faster I/O capabilities, and even higher performance.
