Product Description
Built on the proven foundation of the IBM BladeCenter® family of products—easy-to-use, integrated platforms with a high degree of deployment flexibility, energy efficiency, scalability and manageability—the IBM BladeCenter PS704 Express blade is designed for 64-bit applications. Minimizes complexity, improves efficiency, automates processes, reduces energy consumption and scales easily: these are the benchmarks that matter on a smarter planet. The new POWER7® processor-based PS blades automatically optimize performance and capacity at either a system or virtual machine level and benefits from the new POWER7 processor, which contains innovative technologies that help maximize performance and optimizes energy efficiency. They represent a flexible and cost-efficient solution for SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server deployments.
