IBM Power™ Systems announces the highest performing members of its new generation of systems. This completes the line up for this new IBM platform, providing compelling choices for companies of all sizes. Based on IBM POWER6™ processors, the new IBM Power™ 595, IBM Power 575 and IBM Power 570 are designed to be the infrastructure foundation for companies who share the vision of creating a New Enterprise Data Center. The hallmarks of such a data center are unprecedented levels of new economics, rapid service delivery and alignment with business goals.

IBM's Power Architecture has become so popular in helping Enterprise clients address their IT optimization challenges that in 2007 over 43% of all mid-range and high-end UNIX® and Linux® server spending was on IBM's POWER™ processor-based systems1.



PowerVM. AIX. I for business. Linux.

Power = i + p
IBM Power Systems unifies IBM's highly successful integrated platform, IBM System i™, with its fast growing UNIX operating system platform, IBM System p™. Now you can take advantage of this single platform for all of your UNIX, Linux and i applications, with mission-critical virtualization provided by PowerVM™.

Taking a cue from the power equation in physics — where power equals the time rate of doing work — our clients have begun writing their own Power equations based on their experiences running IBM AIX®, IBM i (formerly i5/OS) and Linux operating systems on this high performance architecture.
