In IBM's view, servers must be designed to avoid both planned and unplanned outages, and to maintain a focus on application uptime. From a reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) standpoint, servers in the IBM Power Systems family include features designed to increase availability and to support new levels of virtualization, building upon the leading-edge RAS features delivered in the IBM eServer™ p5, pSeries® and iSeries™ families of servers. This paper gives an in-depth view of how IBM creates highly available servers for business-critical applications.
