To meet today's complex and ever-changing business demands, you need a solid foundation of compute, storage, networking, and software resources that is simple to deploy and can quickly and automatically adapt to changing conditions. You also need to make full use of broad expertise and proven preferred practices in systems management, applications, hardware maintenance, and more. The IBM® Flex System p270 Compute Node is an IBM Power SystemsTM server that is based on the new dual-chip module POWER7+TM processor and is optimized for virtualization, performance, and efficiency. The server supports IBM AIX®, IBM i, or Linux operating environments, and is designed to run various workloads in IBM PureFlexTM System. The p270 Compute Node is a follow-on to the IBM Flex SystemTM p260 Compute Node. This IBM Redbooks® publication is a comprehensive guide to the p270 Compute Node. We introduce the related Flex System offerings and describe the compute node in detail. We then describe planning and implementation steps including converged networking, management, virtualization, and operating system installation. This book is for customers, IBM Business Partners, and IBM technical specialists who want to understand the new offerings and plan and implement an IBM Flex System installation that involves the Power Systems compute nodes.
This IBM® RedpaperTM publication is a comprehensive guide covering the IBM Power 770 (9117-MMC) and Power 780 (9179-MHC) servers supporting IBM AIX®, IBM i, and Linux operating systems. The goal of this paper is to introduce the major innovative Power 770 and 780 offerings and their prominent functions, including: The IBM POWER7TM processor available at frequencies of 3.3 GHz, 3.44 GHz, 3.72 GHz, and 3.92 GHz, and 4.14 GHz The specialized IBM POWER7TM Level 3 cache that provides greater bandwidth, capacity, and reliability The 1 Gb or 10 Gb Integrated Multifunction Card provides two USB ports, one serial port, and four Ethernet connectors for a processor enclosure and does not require a PCI slot The new Active MemoryTM Mirroring (AMM) for Hypervisor feature that mirrors the main memory used by the firmware IBM PowerVMTM virtualization including PowerVM Live Partition Mobility and PowerVM Active MemoryTM Sharing Active Memory Expansion that provides more usable memory than what is physically installed on the system IBM EnergyScaleTM technology that provides features such as power trending, power-saving, capping of power, and thermal measurement Enterprise-ready reliability, serviceability, and availability Professionals who want to acquire a better understanding of IBM Power SystemsTM products should read this paper. This paper expands the current set of IBM Power Systems documentation by providing a desktop reference that offers a detailed technical description of the 770 and 780 systems. This paper does not replace the latest marketing materials and configuration tools. It is intended as an additional source of information that, together with existing sources, can be used to enhance your knowledge of IBM server solutions.
This IBM® RedpaperTM publication is a comprehensive guide covering the IBM Power 720 and Power 740 servers supporting AIX®, IBM i, and Linux operating systems. The goal of this paper is to introduce the innovative Power 720 and Power 740 offerings and their major functions, including these: The POWER7TM processor available at frequencies of 3.0 GHz, 3.55 GHz, and 3.7 GHz.
