Hardware : Unix Servers


Large Scale Servers
The IBM pSeries 690 platform is an 8-32 way Enterprise Class Unix/Linux Server with extraordinary power, reliability, and on-demand capabilities. Designed for mission critical environments these servers have advanced reliability features like chipkill memory and dynamic processor deallocation. Can run up to 32 dynamic partitions and requires AIX 5L.



Mid-Range Servers
Powerful yet cost effective 2-8 way rack-mount SMP Server with leading edge on-demand capabilities, enhanced flexibility, scalability, and mission-critical functionality.



Entry Level Servers
1 or 2 way SMP Server with state of the art 64-bit copper based POWER4+ microprocessors providing enterprise availability for mission critical requirements and outstanding performance for technical computing requirements.



Blade Servers
Slim, hotswappable blade servers fit in a single chassis like books in a bookshelf -- and each is an independent server, with its own processors, memory, storage, network controllers, operating system and applications. The blade server simply slides into a bay in the chassis and plugs into a mid- or backplane, sharing power, fans, floppy drives, switches, and ports with other blade servers.

The benefits of the blade approach will be obvious to anyone tasked with running down hundreds of cables strung through racks just to add and remove servers. With switches and power units shared, precious space is freed up -- and blade servers enable higher density with far greater ease.
