Power = savings + simplicity
Many clients prefer an integrated server that is simple to deploy for their UNIX, IBM i and Linux solutions. That's why both the Power 520 Express and Power 550 Express servers are packaged with your choice of AIX, i, or Linux Editions that feature the POWER6™ processor integrated with disks, tapes and DVD drives in rack or tower models. These Express Editions are easy-to-order packages that are simple to customize for individual requirements.
Power = performance + affordability
Clients running UNIX and Linux solutions will find the Power 520 Express perfect for distributed applications or as a small database server. And, the Power 550 Express is designed to deliver leadership performance, outstanding capacity, and near-continuous application availability as a mid-size database server. It's also perfect for consolidation of the x86 applications that may be contributing to server sprawl throughout your company.
Power = integrated + simple
Small and mid-sized businesses should consider the i Editions of the Power 520 Express or the Power 550 Express as a robust platform to run a wide variety of business solutions that are supported on the IBM i operating system. With over 5,000 solutions from over 2,500 ISVs, it features an integrated database design that makes it easy to manage multiple applications on a single server.
Power = compatibility + upgrades
For the many clients who already run System i solutions, the Power 520 Express and Power 550 Express continue the assurance of application protection that IBM has delivered consistently for decades. The new product line can run applications unchanged at the previous IBM i 5.4 level or on the latest version, IBM i 6.1 (available as of March 21, 2008). IBM also continues to provide hardware upgrades for i clients into the new Power servers from selected System i POWER5™ and POWER5+™ models.
Power = blades + choice
The IBM BladeCenter is a flexible, energy efficient platform for clients who want to deploy multiple operating environments, including Windows, UNIX, i and Linux solutions in a single chassis. Now, IBM introduces the POWER6 processor-based, 2-core IBM BladeCenter JS12, with more memory per processor to manage demanding solutions, like ERP. Flexible IBM BladeCenter chassis deployment options enable you to consolidate servers into the right chassis to reduce space requirements and energy costs. Choose either the BladeCenter H with data center scalability or the BladeCenter S for an office environment.
