p690

The 690 is a step up from the popular pSeries 680, previously the most powerful pSeries server available. It is actually a big step up, almost doubling the processor power of the 680. This great model defines what businesses can expect from a datacenter-class UNIX server, offering from 8- to 32- way SMP (symmetric multi-processor). Concurrent 32- and 64-bit applications can run on the same server, allowing you to protect existing investments while enabling a move to more advanced technology. It has the ability to consolidate critical application on a single, datacenter-class server.

It offers unprecedented flexibility in terms of configuration and interoperability, and can support workload consolidation, and allows LINUX and AIX to run side-by-side in separate partitions. Actually the logical partitioning system of this server is one of the best ever, allowing you almost dictatorial control over the resources of your investment. And you know that is the key to maximizing ROI, getting the most out of your investment. It is also targeted for the demands of the high performance computing customer (HPC).
