Content

Specific Features

For the data processing centers ensuring functioning of large-scale transaction processing systems and applications of databases

For large-scale consolidation of servers for the purpose of increase in flexibility and also decrease in operating expenses and expenses on the electric power

For the enterprises for which the highest level of reliability, readiness and convenience of service (RAS) to the major applications is necessary.

The IBM Power 595 server allows the enterprises to unroll the most cost-efficient and flexible IT infrastructure, at the same time providing the highest performance of applications and also increasing the speed of deployment of new applications and services. Being the most powerful model in the IBM Power Systems family, this server provides the highest performance, excellent scalability and calculations at low electricity consumption that allows to use it in a number of difficult and important applications with the highest requirements to computing resources.

Thanks to support up to 64 cores of IBM POWER6 processors with high frequencies in the Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) configurations, the Power 595 server can quickly and easily be scaled according to the changing requirements of modern data processing centers. Thanks to the advanced system of virtualization PowerVM and also EnergyScale and Capacity on Demand (CoD) technologies the Power 595 server helps the companies to retain control over IT infrastructure and with confidence to consolidate the different UNIX, IBM i and Linux applications within one system.

The powerful RAS functions inherited from mainframes allow Power 595 to ensure reliable functioning of the major applications. Now customers have an opportunity to upgrade the POWER5 590 or 595 servers which are available for them, thereby again justifying the existing investments into architecture of IBM Power.

The Power 595 server is a reliable basis for consolidation of a server framework, decrease in complexity of administration of systems and optimization of computing resources. Thanks to the highest power, the checked technologies of IBM and huge potential for growth, the Power 595 server is capable to bring business of the customer to new level.
