Product Description
The IBM PowerLinux 7R2 delivers the performance of the POWER7® processor in a dense, rack-optimized form factor and is ideal for running multiple application and infrastructure workloads in a virtualized environment. Take advantage of the PowerLinux 7R2’s scalability and capacity by leveraging our industrial strength PowerVM™ technology to fully utilize the server's capability. PowerVM offers this capability to dynamically adjust system resources to partitions based on workload demands, enabling a dynamic infrastructure that can reduce server sprawl via consolidation of applications and servers. The PowerLinux 7R2 is a two-socket, reliable and energy-efficient server supporting twelve POWER7 cores and SUSE® Linux® Enterprise Server operating system. Combine the performance with PowerVM and the workload-optimizing capabilities of POWER7 and you are now ready to run multiple application and infrastructure workloads in a virtualized environment while driving utilization and reducing costs.
