IBM Power s824 Servers
New innovation brings faster insight to the point of impact for today’s data hungry applications
Built with innovation that puts data to work, IBM Power Systems™ deliver the foundation for organizations to bring insight to the point of impact 2x faster. These first generation systems push the physical and virtual boundaries of data center technology with innovation designed to drive faster and more efficient data-centric applications required for today’s smarter enterprise.
With new innovations, Power Systems provide the ability to:
- Gain faster insights with the POWER8 processor and smart acceleration enabled by CAPI technologies such as accelerators for key workloads
- Achieve lower latency and smaller footprint with CAPI Flash
- Move data in and out of systems more quickly with twice the memory and I/O expansion
- Achieve greater speed and efficiency for database, transactional and other highly multi-threaded applications with transactional memory supported by 50 percent more cores and 2x the number of simultaneous threads per core
Highlights
- Ideal for consolidation of multiple applications and infrastructure workloads in a virtualized environment, bringing together business transaction processing with infrastructure for social and mobile solutions
- Consolidation of UNIX and x86 Linux workloads
- Gain faster insights with the IBM® POWER8™ processor and smart acceleration enabled by Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) technologies
- Reduce energy consumption utilizing advanced energy control
