The IBM eServer pSeries 690 (7040-681) is the first in a family of products representing a new generation of IBM's 64-bit, symmetric multiprocessing UNIX (SMP) servers. It gives you the power you need to consolidate workloads within a single, powerful, UNIX system. The large SMP server no longer functions merely as a server, but rather as a self- contained "IT infrastructure in a box."
The attributes of the pSeries 690 set the stage to grow as your needs change:
- High availability
- Scalability
- Reliability
- Flexibility
Use it as you make your transition from existing RS/6000 Model S80 and p680 units or move to a brand new computing model.
