Power 740
Highlights
- For small-to-midsize database servers
- For consolidation of UNIX, IBM i and x86 Linux workloads and virtualised application servers.
Businesses desire systems that deliver outstanding performance but also demand that those systems achieve higher levels of energy efficiency and utilisation to help conserve energy and reduce infrastructure costs. As a small-to-midsize database server, the Power 740 Express server is fuelled by the outstanding performance of the POWER7 processor, making it possible for applications to run faster with fewer processors, which can result in lower per core software licensing costs. The Power 740 Express also supports innovative workload-optimising and energy management technologies to help clients get the most out of their systems; that is, running applications quickly and energy efficiently to reduce costs.
As a consolidation server, businesses can further reduce costs and energy consumption by combining the Power 740 Express performance, capacity and configuration flexibility with industrial-strength PowerVM virtualisation for AIX, IBM i and Linux. The Power 740 Express is designed with large memory and input/output (I/O) capacity to satisfy even the most demanding processing environments and can deliver business advantages and higher client satisfaction.
The Power 740 Express is a one- or two-socket server that supports up to 16 POWER7 cores in a flexible 4U rack-optimised or tower form factor. The Power 740 offers large memory capacity, outstanding performance of the POWER7 processor, PowerVM and workload-optimising capabilities to enable companies to get the most out of their systems by increasing utilisation and performance while helping to reduce infrastructure and energy costs.
