POWER7 systems deliver unprecedented performance for both transactional and throughput computing for UNIX, IBM i and Linux applications with up to four times the performance and workload consolidation capacity, and three times the performance per watt of POWER6 processor-based systems.
The Power 755 is a 4-socket, 32-core server with outstanding performance in a dense 4U rack-optimised package. Using 12X InfiniBand adapters up to 641 Power 755 nodes, each with 32 cores, can be clustered together providing up to 2,048 POWER7 cores.

Easily scale up to 64 cores with the IBM Power 770. Unique IBM modular SMP architecture lets you add more powerful POWER7 processing capability exactly when needed. Innovative reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features and excellent virtualisation capabilities make the 770 well suited as a midrange application or database server, or for server consolidation. And the flexibility to use the leading-edge AIX, IBM i and Linux® operating systems broadens the application offerings available and increases the ways clients can manage growth, complexity and risk.

The IBM Power 775 supercomputing server is designed for organisations that require a highly scalable system with extreme parallel processing performance and dense, modular packaging. Use it in clustered configurations of as few as 512 processor cores or in world-class supercomputer configurations of hundreds of thousands of processors. Combined with specialised software from IBM, this system is designed to perform and represents the latest Power technology available.
Easily scale up to 96 cores with the IBM Power 780. Unique IBM modular Symmetric Multi-Processor (SMP) architecture lets you add more powerful POWER7 processing capability exactly when needed. Innovative RAS features and leadership virtualisation capabilities make the 780 well suited as an application or database server, or for server consolidation. And the flexibility to use the leading-edge AIX, IBM i and Linux operating systems broadens the application offerings available and increases the ways clients can manage growth, complexity and risk.
