IBM Power Systems advantages

POWER6

IBM POWER6™ processor technology now combines with AIX®, IBM i, and Linux operating systems to put system performance, availability and efficiency into a new realm. With ultra high-frequency dual-core processor technology, integrated EnergyScale™ technology and mainframe inspired self-healing features, Power servers can deliver computing power with efficiency like never before.

AIX

AIX an open, UNIX operating system, allows you to run the applications you want, on the hardware you want — IBM UNIX servers. IBM Power servers provide high levels of security built into the AIX operating system and offer Security Enhanced Linux for clients who have critical Linux requirements.

IBM i

IBM i has a highly scalable and virus resistant architecture with a proven reputation for exceptional business resiliency. Running applications based on the IBM i integrated operating environment has helped companies over many years to focus on innovation and delivering new value to their business, not just on managing their data center operations. The i operating environment integrates a trusted combination of relational database, security, Web services, networking and storage management capabilities. It provides a broad and highly stable database and middleware foundation for efficiently deploying business processing applications, with support for over 5,000 solutions from over 2,500 ISVs. IBM i solutions are offered through an extensive, highly skilled worldwide network of IBM Business Partners that is backed by IBM's trusted services and support infrastructure.

Linux

Innovate with Linux! Now you can move your business-critical solutions to the Linux operating system to reduce costs and increase flexibility and continue the same quality of service achieved with a traditional UNIX operating system. Linux for Power servers brings the self-healing and self-managing capabilities of the IBM POWER6 processor architecture to Linux.

Virtualization

The IBM PowerVM™ features can help simplify and optimize your IT infrastructure to help promote innovation. Virtualization can help significantly lower the cost of existing infrastructure and increase business flexibility, allowing you to meet unanticipated needs.
