The Enterprise Linux Server – Consolidation for Everyone

Comprehensive infrastructure

The Enterprise Linux Server (ELS) brings a complete infrastructure for virtualization and consolidation within the grasp of all shapes and sizes of business.

While a variety of server options is available, the ELS provides a uniquely powerful and comprehensive solution for virtualizing, consolidating and managing Linux workloads.

Single-server Simplicity.

Having all your modern applications on one single server saves management costs, floor space and energy.

The ELS allows you to do that, through its advanced virtualization, automation features and highly-scalable server capacity. This is in stark contrast to competitive solutions that offer limited single-system scalability.

The ELS provides high resource utilization with a single point of control. Even as a single server, the ELS is designed to avoid or recover from failures for extremely high levels of business availability.

Virtualization to grow horizontally and vertically

Enterprise Linux Server virtualization software runs directly on the hardware, and maximizes the performance of the virtual servers while simplifying the task of managing the environment.

Its ability to virtualize processors, communication, memory, storage, I/O and networking resources provides advanced resource utilization and dynamic allocation.

Unmatched Resiliency, Availability and Security

The ELS is based on an IBM System z10 server, which is considered by many industry experts to be the most resilient server in the marketplace.

Resiliency in an ELS server goes far beyond the hardware. The resiliency design point focuses as well on the applications, which results in an integrated environment where hardware, firmware, virtualization software, Linux and middleware work in concert to provide application and data resiliency and security.
