IBM Introduces Record Breaking Power5+ Computing Systems

IBM today announced new UNIX® systems for small and medium-sized businesses that use an enhanced version of the POWER5(TM) chip to shatter fifteen world records in key benchmarks for entry level UNIX and Linux servers. The new IBM System p5 Express servers are equipped with POWER5+(TM) microprocessor technology and are specifically designed for the processing requirements of small to mid-sized companies or branch locations running business-critical database applications in retail, wholesale, distribution and financial services.

The introduction of the new IBM System p5 servers with POWER5+ technology provide small and medium businesses with new choices for deploying high-performance computing capabilities in their IT infrastructure. Additionally, new easy-to-use software tools make management of the new servers as simple as point-and-click with the new Integrated Virtualization Manager and IBM Director 5.1. The new IBM System p5 servers range from a new 8-way server for scale up environments and server consolidation, to dense rack form factors for e-mail, web, file and print serving and dense clustering in scale out environments, to new “scale within” capabilities with fast, easy-to-use virtualization.
