IBM Power Systems™ delivers again on the trusted IBM POWER6™ technology roadmap and the right solutions to maximize your return on investment. It’s all designed to enable large and midsized businesses to take the right steps to a more dynamic infrastructure with The New Power Equation – only from IBM.
Reduce cost with new systems for midsized and enterprise workloads
Announcing even better performance for the price and increased flexibility with superior scalability on popular POWER6 processor-based blade and midrange servers. Power Systems now also offers new, high-performing and energy-efficient Solid-State Drives with much faster I/O response times than traditional disk drives -- optimizing cost, performance and energy savings.
Move demanding commercial workloads to the IBM BladeCenter® JS23 Express with 20% more performance and double the memory of previous Power blade servers and the flexibility to easily scale up to the new IBM BladeCenter JS43 Express – quickly doubling your capacity whenever you need it.
Both the IBM Power™ 520 Express and IBM Power 550 Express servers now deliver greater performance with the latest POWER6 processor enhancements -- up to 5.0 GHz.
Reduce cost with cross-platform virtualization for Linux
Many companies are turning to Linux and open source applications to help reduce cost. Linux enhancements for Power Systems help clients save time and money by making it easier to order, install and migrate new workloads to Power servers. Additionally, a major new version of Novell SUSE Enterprise Server 11 is also supported.
Improve service with enhanced virtualization management
IBM extends its virtualization leadership with memory virtualization capabilities that optimize the overall physical memory usage in a pool. And, new extensions to IBM Systems Director support the provisioning of new AIX® and Linux servers from a library of images as well as the creation and management of virtual images and system templates.
Now IBM PowerVM™, the industry’s leading virtualization technology for UNIX®, IBM i and Linux, includes Active Memory™ Sharing. By enabling the sharing of a pool of physical memory among logical partitions on a single server, Active Memory Sharing helps to increase memory utilization, flexibility and performance – so system costs go down and stay down.
Take an early look at the IBM Systems Director virtual image management technology designed to deliver new services faster by automating the deployment of virtual server images.
Reduce cost and improve integration of IBM i and Windows servers
An enhanced IBM i Edition Express for BladeCenter S simplifies deployment of your dynamic infrastructure with i, Windows and Linux applications.
