POWER6 processors

IBM’s ultra high-frequency, dual-core POWER6 processors integrate performance, availability, and efficiency features into the microprocessor. POWER6 processors include integrated hardware accelerators; one for floating-point applications, and another vectorized math and modeling needs. Self-healing functionalities such as instruction retry on alternate processor helps with error recovery and availability, and the ability to concurrently update firmware and operating systems without downtime helps to further minimize disruption.

Virtualization with PowerVM

IBM’s Hypervisor™ technology and PowerVM software bring virtualization capabilities to mission-critical applications. In addition to fueling cost-savings efforts like server consolidation, a virtualized infrastructure enables business flexibility and resiliency, allowing software patches to be staged, and virtual operating environments to be provisioned for testing and development.

Conserve energy costs

The POWER6 architecture was designed from the ground up with operating efficiency in mind. The enhanced consolidation capabilities of these servers enable what was formerly running on multiple physical systems, to run on one larger system, reducing redundant components and maintenance contracts. In addition, the new EnergyScale™ technology helps to reduce power & cooling costs with integrated powering-down of particular components, without affecting availability. In addition, IT can gain further insight into power and cooling trends, enabling them to further control costs, manage peak usage, increase availability, and plan for required physical facilities.
