• Rich suite of software for workload management, parallel file system capability and cost-effective cluster management.

Setting the standard
To meet the demands of high performance computing (HPC) and business intelligence (BI) applications, IBM has created the IBM eServer® pSeries® 655—a member of its family of technologically advanced, 64-bit, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) servers. Building on an advanced UNIX® server design, pioneering mainframe-inspired technologies, and a heritage of HPC innovations, this powerful server delivers the performance, price/performance, flexibility, reliability and manageability features needed for cluster-optimized server environments such as large-scale computational modeling and multi-terabyte databases.

The pSeries 655 server is an integral part of the IBM eServer product line—advanced servers that can help lower costs, speed innovation, and solve larger and more complex problems rapidly with improved efficiency. The foundation of this server is innovative technology from across IBM.

The pSeries 655 is an ultra-dense packaged server specifically designed for building high-performance clusters, including participation in the IBM eServer Cluster 1600. The Cluster 1600 includes pSeries servers, IBM cluster management software, optional cluster software for HPC, and a choice of an industry standard, pSeries High Performance Switch (HPS) or SP™ Switch2 interconnection. It draws on more than a decade of IBM clustered and massively parallel system leadership to deliver high-performance on demand and industry-leading technological capabilities—raising the bar for supercomputing-class UNIX servers.
