pSeries Operating Systems |

Traditionally,
selecting the right mid-range UNIX® server to address on demand business needs
has required compromises. Often, businesses have faced a difficult tradeoff
between price and critical features supporting reliability, flexibility and
performance—until now. With the IBM eServer™ pSeries™ 650, there is no need to
compromise.
To be competitive, organizations require powerful, flexible e-business
infrastructures that meet budgetary constraints—without sacrificing the
performance, reliability and function that mission-critical applications demand.
To meet this need, IBM has created the pSeries 650, a member of the IBM eServer
product line—advanced servers that can help lower costs, improve efficiency and
speed-transformation to e-business on demand.
Because IBM does not believe in compromising function and reliability for cost,
no capability was spared in the design of the pSeries 650, one of our most
advanced mid-range servers. The pSeries 650 utilizes the company's most
innovative 64-bit chip—POWER4+™—the next generation of the POWER4™
microprocessor family. In addition, the pSeries 650 continues the same
mainframe-inspired autonomic computing reliability, availability and
serviceability (RAS) features as the high-end pSeries 690 server. And
astonishingly, it delivers all this at a significantly better price/performance
than the popular pSeries 660 Model 6M1.
The pSeries 650 is a winning proposition for small- and medium-size companies,
or large enterprises with distributed branch servers conducting vital business
processes such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management
(SCM), customer relationship management (CRM) and business intelligence (BI).
For e-businesses, the pSeries 650 excels as a highly reliable and available
business-to-business Web server.
