Servers


  • Blades (US)

    Delivering on the promise for a highly dynamic infrastructure, the BladeCenter PS blades help in delivering superior business and IT services with agility and speed—all in a simple to manage highly efficient way.

  • Express

    Power Express servers are excellent as reliable, secure distributed application servers, consolidation servers, or standalone servers for UNIX, IBM i and Linux workloads. As 2U, 4U or tower packages with 4-32 cores, Power Express servers provide outstanding performance while helping to reduce infrastructure and energy costs.

  • Enterprise

    Power Enterprise servers are for clients that require the ultimate in business resiliency, performance and scalability. This class of system, capable of running AIX, IBM i and Linux, provides up to 256 POWER7 processor cores with up to 8TBs of memory and includes the flexibility to turn processors and memory on and off as application workload dictates.

  • PowerLinux (US)

    World-class POWER7 systems equipped with two sockets and up to 16 cores. These value-priced servers are designed to go head-to-head with x86 servers on cost, while delivering greater performance, higher utilisation, and superior availability.

  • High performance computing (US)

    Power Systems high performance computing solutions configured into highly scalable AIX® and Linux® clusters offer extreme performance for demanding analytic and big data workloads such as computational chemistry, petroleum reservoir modeling, weather forecasting, climate modeling, and financial services.

  • IBM Flex System (US)

    IBM Flex System™ provides compute, storage and networking resources in one environment that is both efficient and easy to manage. IBM Flex System components provide an open ecosystem of advanced networking, storage, and virtualisation technologies with flexibility for a variety of workloads.
