Save time, money and space when you consolidate on
System p5 550 and 550Q Express servers. Get up to 8-core scalability,
outstanding price/performance, exceptional RAS (reliability, availability,
serviceability) features, and a 3-year warranty—all standard—at an affordable
price. Powered by IBM’s most advanced 64-bit processor core, POWER5+, these
systems have simultaneous multithreading1 for increased system utilization and
improved application performance. Like all System p5 Express servers, the System
p5 550 and 550Q Express can run the IBM AIX 5L™ and Linux® operating systems
simultaneously. The new browser-based Integrated Virtualization Manager makes it
easier than ever before to achieve increased utilization when adding low-cost
IBM Advanced POWER™ Virtualization features to your system.
The System p5 550Q Express platform is a new breed of 8-core scalable database
and application server designed to meet the rigors of transaction-intensive and
analytical applications. Powered by IBM’s latest Quad-Core Module (QCM) 1.65 GHz
POWER5+ processor cores, the p5-550Q Express delivers outstanding
price/performance and high system throughput and is ideally suited for
compute-intensive business intelligence (BI), scientific and engineering
analytical applications, database applications or server consolidation.
