The
IBM System p5™ 595 server is designed to help companies conquer their challenges
to achieve a competitive edge. As the most powerful IBM System p™ server, the
p5-595 can deliver exceptional performance, reliability, scalability and
flexibility—enabling businesses to take control of their IT infrastructure by
confidently consolidating application workloads onto a single system. Equipped
with advanced 64-bit IBM POWER5+™ processor cores in up to 64-core symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP) configurations, this server provides the processing power
for a full range of complex, mission-critical applications with demanding
processing requirements, including business intelligence (BI), enterprise
resource planning (ERP), transaction processing and ultra high performance
computing (HPC). With twice the number of processors, twice the memory capacity
and nearly four times the commercial performance of the previous top-of-the-line
IBM eServer™ pSeries® 690 server1, the p5-595 can ultimately help companies make
decisions faster and drive business innovation.
Delivering advanced System p virtualization technologies such as Advanced POWER™
Virtualization2 plus Capacity on Demand (CoD) options, the p5-595 server can
scale rapidly and seamlessly to address the changing needs of an on demand
environment. It can execute the IBM AIX 5L™ and Linux operating systems
simultaneously, providing the flexibility to run the applications businesses
need to achieve their goals. And, extensive mainframe-inspired reliability,
availability and serviceability features can help ensure that the system will be
ready for business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
