IBM Power 750 Express
server
High performance, energy-efficient platform for server
consolidation, multiapplication and database serving
Highlights
●
For consolidation of UNIX®, IBM i and
x86 Linux® workloads and virtualized
application servers
●
For medium-to-large database servers
The IBM Power® 750 Express® server delivers the outstanding performance of the POWER7® processor. The performance, capacity,
energy efficiency and virtualization capabilities of the Power 750 Express
make it an ideal consolidation, database or multiapplication server.
As a consolidation or highly virtualized multiapplication server, the
Power 750 Express offers tremendous conguration exibility to meet the
most demanding capacity and growth requirements. Utilize the full capability of the system by leveraging industrial-strength PowerVM™ virtualization for AIX®, IBM i, and Linux. PowerVM offers the capability to
dynamically adjust system resources based on workload demands so that
each partition gets the resources it needs. Active Memory™ Expansion is
a new POWER7 technology that enables the effective maximum memory
capacity to be much larger than the true physical memory. Innovative
compression/decompression of memory content can enable memory
expansion up to 100 percent. This can enable a partition to do signicantly more work or enable a server to run more partitions with the same
physical amount of memory.
For database servers, the leadership performance of the POWER7
processor makes it possible for applications to run faster with fewer
processors, resulting in lower per core software licensing costs. The
POWER7 processor contains innovative technologies that maximize performance based on client workloads and computing needs. Intelligent
Threads technology enables workload optimization by selecting the most
