IBM Introduces New Power Systems Servers
Posted on: Thursday, 3 April 2008, 09:00 CDT
IBM has introduced a new generation of Power Systems that will provide its System i and System p clients a single, unified line of servers with simplified pricing, increased application choice and reduced energy and administration costs.
The new Power Systems servers from IBM will incorporate Power6 processors, and support Unix, Linux and i applications simultaneously on a single server system. Existing System i customers can easily increase both performance and energy efficiency by moving their mission-critical applications to new systems - including cost effective new blade options - using the same i applications and operating system they have depended on for two decades.
The new Power Systems also feature PowerVM virtualization technology that enables clients to create up to 80 virtual partitions in a single system, which can dramatically improve the utilization of the servers.
The new Power platform will also provide IBM Independent Software Vendors ('ISVs') a single platform for i, Unix and Linux solutions, making it simpler than ever before for ISVs to help customers choose the right solution for their business. The new Power platform offers IBM ISVs new potential for a wider audience and new products, especially if they have a portfolio of solutions that run on multiple operating systems.
