The IBM System p5 570 mid-range server is a powerful
19-inch rack mount system that can be used for database and application serving,
as well as server consolidation. IBM’s modular symmetric multiprocessor (SMP)
architecture means you can start with a 2-core system and easily add additional
building blocks when needed for more processing power (up to 16-cores) I/O and
storage capacity. The p5-570 includes IBM mainframe-inspired reliability,
availability and serviceability features.
The System p5 570 server is designed to be a cost-effective, flexible server for
the on demand environment. Innovative virtualization technologies and Capacity
on Demand (CoD) options help increase the responsiveness of the server to
variable computing demands. These features also help increase the systems
utilization of processors and system components allowing businesses to meet
their computing requirements with a smaller system. By combining IBM’s most
advanced leading-edge technology for enterprise-class performance and flexible
adaptation to changing market conditions, the p5-570 can deliver the key
capabilities medium-sized companies need to survive in today’s highly
competitive world.
