Modular, scalable system architecture to support business growth
The System i 570 offers a scalable, modular hardware architecture and helps support balanced growth from a 1- to 4-way configuration up to a full 16-way system. The i570 server is packaged in 4-way, 4U building block nodes or modules. Each node supports four POWER6 4.7 GHz processor cores along with cache, memory, media, I/O adapters, efficient power and cooling to create a balanced, extremely high-performance rack-mount system. Up to four nodes can be configured in a 19-inch rack as a single SMP server. This building block approach is designed to allow the i570 to scale in a way that balances memory, I/O capacity, processing power and bandwidth.

Flexible deployment options for production and business resilience systems
The System i 570 with POWER6 processors is packaged in two simple Editions: i5/OS Edition ideal for production applications, and a Capacity BackUp (CBU) Edition that adds multiple business resilience options.

The i5/OS Edition is designed to perform as a primary production system and is offered in a 1/4-way, 2/8-way or 4/16-way configuration. It also includes valuable Optimum Care services and education vouchers, including a new onsite Availability Assessment offer on 4/16-way 570 configurations.

The Capacity BackUp Edition is designed as a secondary system to support various business resilience solutions and is offered in a 1/4-way, 1/8-way and 2/16-way configuration.
