Take back control of your transaction processing
environment with the IBM System p5 520 and 520Q Express servers designed for
reliability, flexibility and security. A 3-year warranty, special IBM financing
and a choice of attractively-priced preconfigured Editions (for IBM AIX 5L™ or
Linux operating systems) make these systems easy to buy, install and manage.
Both the p5-520 and p5-520Q Express are designed with simultaneous
multithreading1 for increased system utilization and improved application
performance. The new browser-based Integrated Virtualization Manager makes it
easier than ever to achieve increased utilization by adding low-cost Advanced
POWER Virtualization features to your system.
The leadership performance and manageability position the System p5 520 Express
platform with its 2.1 GHz POWER5+ processor cores for use as a small database
server, a branch application server, and for highly secure e-business and
business intelligence (BI)/high performance computing (HPC) applications for
enterprises of all sizes.
