In today’s competitive world, the difference between
winning and losing could be determined by how efficiently a company, be it large
or small, manages its servers. That’s why IBM has developed the System p5
Express family of flexible, affordable servers designed with exceptional
security and reliability features and built on the successful heritage of the
IBM eServer™ p5 Express product line. Offering the lowest priced System p5
Express server built with proven IBM POWER5 technology, the p5-505 and p5-505Q
Express entry servers provide exceptional value in a 1U (one EIA Unit)
high-density system. They offer on demand computing without compromising
availability, flexibility or security features—at a value price. With expansive
growth potential, innovative virtualization capabilities, extraordinary power
and proven IBM technology, System p5 505 and 505Q Express servers are ready to
help clients do more and spend less.
The System p5 505Q Express platform is ideal for small and medium-sized clients
who are upgrading, deploying, or adding new Linux or UNIX rack and stack servers
for distributed database serving, ERP and CRM application serving,
infrastructure applications, or HPC (high performance computing) clusters that
must be up and running to ensure customer satisfaction. Using IBM’s latest
Quad-Core Module (QCM) technology with four 1.65 GHz POWER5+ processor cores,
the p5-505Q Express delivers outstanding price/performance and high system
throughput.
