Outstanding midrange value is offered with the IBM p5 Model 560Q Express servers. The p560Q Express editions deliver the power, flexibility, reliability, and scalability for large database & business applications on UNIX® and Linux®, as well as departmental HPC computing applications.
The p560Q utilizes IBM’s new Quad-Core Module (QCM) technology which makes it easier to scale & manage, and maximizes price/performance. Each QCM includes two CPUs, or 4-cores of processing power. When more processing power is needed, simply add another QCM, which also includes additional I/O and storage capacity. Two QCMs are configured into a “building block”, and the System p5 560Q Express also includes capacity to add a second building block when needed.
Utilize LPAR technology with IBM’s Virtualization Engine™ to consolidate multiple Unix and Linux workloads. With the IBM System p5 595, you can utilize advanced consolidation technologies like Dynamic Logical Partitioning, Micro-Partitioning™ and Virtual I/O Server to maximize the resource utilization of your p595 system, making it an ideal server consolidation platform.
Dynamic Logical Partitioning increases systems utilization and optimization by automatically allocating memory and CPUs to Linux® or AIX 5L ™ workloads that need it most, eliminating the need to spend money on unused computing power.
Micro-partitioning further cuts costs by allowing you to consolidate multiple independent AIX 5L and Linux workloads and finely tune performance. Virtual servers can be as small as 1/10th of a processor, and in increments as small as 1/100th of a processor. You can even run independent Linux and AIX™ workloads simultaneously on the same chip with the p5 platform.
The Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) capability allows multiple copies of OS’s to run on the same system, reducing the amount of systems you need, and saving money in software licensing costs.
The 1.5GHz POWER5+ chips are two-way simultaneous multithreaded dual-core chips, designed to maximize the utilization of your computing power. They also include dynamic resource balancing to ensure each thread receives their fair share of system resources, these cutting-edge processors each appear as a four-way symmetric multiprocessor to your software.
The p560Q servers include many of the same RAS features included with the higher-end System p5 machines. Some of the RAS capabilities include:
The System p5 560Q servers design logical partitions to be shielded from one another to prevent application running in one partition from violating security policies across partitions, for additional security.
