END OF LIFE

IBM System p5 570 Server

The p570 is the first server designed with POWER6 processors, resulting in performance and price/performance advantages while ushering in a new era in the virtualisation and availability of UNIX® and Linux® data centres. POWER6 processors can run 64-bit applications, while concurrently supporting 32-bit applications to enhance flexibility. They feature simultaneous multi-threading, allowing two application ‘threads’ to be run at the same time, which can significantly reduce the time to complete tasks.

The p570 system is more than an evolution of technology wrapped into a familiar package; it is the result of ‘thinking outside the box.’ IBM’s modular symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) architecture means that the system is constructed using 4-core building blocks. This design allows to be started with what is needed and grow by adding additional building blocks, all without disruption to the base system. Optional Capacity on Demand (CoD) features allows the activation of dormant processor power for times as short as one minute. It may start small and grow with systems designed for continuous application availability.

Specifically, the System p 570 server provides:
