Tab navigation

IBM brings the extraordinary value of IBM BladeCenter® to the UNIX®, i and Linux® market with the introduction of POWER6™ processor-based blade servers. Designed for virtualization and performance, the BladeCenter JS22 and JS12 blades feature IBM's latest POWER6 processor technology — the world's fastest microprocessor. Couple that superior performance with Power™ Systems Software like IBM PowerVM™ built-in and you now have the opportunity to consolidate your UNIX, i and Linux applications onto POWER6 processor-based blades like never before.

Now with UNIX, i and Linux operating systems you can take advantage of all that BladeCenter architecture has to offer: great performance, built-in virtualization, improved energy efficiency and space utilization, simplification of your infrastructure and ease of management. With an innovative architecture, BladeCenter tightly integrates servers, storage, networking, I/O and applications. This allows you to build a robust and flexible IT infrastructure using common building blocks and a powerful set of management tools that are open, easy, and seamlessly integrated, helping you focus on your business not your IT.


"We are very excited about the new IBM POWER6-based JS12 Express blades supporting AIX, Linux, and IBM i. The enhanced memory capacity along with the built-in PowerVM virtualization, EnergyScale technology, and the proven RAS features of the Power Architecture, packaged in the blade form factor is very attractive to our mid market SAP All-in-One customers."
