IBM BladeCenter JS12

2-core, 3.8 GHz POWER6 processor-based blade.

IBM JS21 Blade ServerThe IBM Blade Server JS12 brings the advantage of IBM’s 6th-generation processor technology, POWER6 to the BladeCenter chassis. The JS12 can help consolidate UNIX, IBM i, and Linux workloads onto a single platform designed to save costs and reduce complexity.

Feature 4-cores of 4.0GHz POWER6 processors, the JS12 blade server has the ability to scale from 1GB to 64GB of DDR2 main memory with 4 x DIMM slots. In addition, this blade server includes 2 internal disk bays that support 73GB or 146GB SAS drives, 1 PCIe 8x and 1 PCI-X slots. The Blade Server JS12 Express edition is designed to support the advanced I/O capabilities of the BladeCenter S and BladeCenter H such as 4X InfiniBand®, 4Gbps Fibre Channel, & 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Enhanced Virtualization for Consolidation

Virtualization is the technology that allows multiple copies of IBM i, Linux, and AIX UNIX to run concurrently on a single JS12. The POWER Hypervisor™ is the base of the virtualization capabilities on the JS12 and enables advanced virtualization technologies like LPAR, dynamic LPAR, and virtual LAN, allowing computing resources to be intelligently provisioned on-the-fly. Computing resources can be transparently shared across partitions, increasing system utilization while ensuring applications are provided with the resources they need to operate according to business requirements.

PowerVM Standard Edition software comes standard with the IBM Blade Server JS12, enabling advanced virtualization technologies such as Micro-Partitioning™, which allows partition granularity of less than one CPU. Up to 20 micro-partitions can be supported on a single JS12 blade server.

Extend the resiliency of the workloads that run on your Blade Server JS12 with PowerVM Enterprise Edition, which includes Live Partition Mobility (LPM). LPM allows running workloads running on partitions to be migrated from one physical server to another without disruption.
