IBM System p5 570

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 SMP architecture means it can start with a two-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 (RAS) features.

The System p5 570 server is designed to be a cost-effective, flexible server for the on demand environment. Innovative virtualisation technologies and CoD options help increase the responsiveness of the server to variable computing demands. These features also help increase the systems utilisation 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.

Specifically, the System p5 570 server provides:
