IBM Power 730 Express server

Highlights

• High-performance, dense and energy-efficient server ideal for running multiple application and infrastructure workloads in a virtualized environment.
• Consolidation of UNIX and x86 Linux workloads.

Organizations of all sizes are struggling with rising energy prices and limited resources. They are running out of space and exceeding power thresholds in computer rooms and data centers. And, they are increasingly being asked to do more with less. The Power® 730 Express is designed with innovative workload-optimizing and energy management technologies to help clients get the most out of their systems; that is, running applications fast and energy efficiently to conserve energy and reduce infrastructure costs

The IBM Power 730 Express server delivers the outstanding performance of the POWER7® processor in a dense, rack-optimized form factor and is ideal for running multiple application and infrastructure workloads in a virtualized environment. Take advantage of the Power 730 Express servers’ scalability and capacity by leveraging our industrial strength PowerVM™ technology to fully utilize the servers’ capability. PowerVM offers this capability to dynamically adjust system resources to partitions based on workload demands, enabling a dynamic infrastructure that can dramatically reduce server sprawl via consolidation of applications and servers.

The Power 730 Express server is a two-socket high-performance, reliable and energy-efficient server supporting up to sixteen POWER7 cores and a choice of AIX®, IBM i or Linux operating systems. Combine the outstanding performance with PowerVM and the workload-optimizing capabilities of POWER7 and you are now ready to run multiple application and infrastructure workloads in a virtualized environment while driving higher utilization and reducing costs.
