The IBM System i 570 is designed for the challenges faced by mid-sized and large enterprises that need a powerful and highly versatile system for enterprise business processes and applications. Based on scalable POWER6 processor technology and featuring the highly efficient i5/OS operating environment, the System i 570 platform is ideally suited for the deployment of your most critical applications. It offers exceptional business resiliency, high security and low operations costs – a combination that can help you focus your IT staff on supporting new business initiatives and growth. The i570 also features advanced virtualization technologies designed to promote high systems utilisation and efficient power usage
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, input/output (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 on-site Availability Assessment offer on 4/16-way 570 configurations.
The CBU 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.
