 Enterprises
face increasingly complex IT environments created by the ever-growing number of
servers required to run even a single business application. Anticipating this
concern, IBM developed the IBM® System i™ platform—a premier integrated and
highly secure system designed to simplify your IT environment. The System i
family is designed to help you reduce the number of servers, management costs
and maintenance and licensing costs—opening the door for reinvestment into
business growth.
A completely scalable, upgradeable hardware architecture helps support balanced
growth. The IBM System i 595 scales from 8/16-way to 32/64-way models. Coupled
with advanced virtualization technologies, these systems run multiple operating
systems and application environments on their IBM POWER5+™ processors
simultaneously—including IBM i5/OS®, IBM AIX 5L™, Linux®, Java™, IBM WebSphere®
and IBM Lotus® Domino® software. With the capacity to support up to 10 dynamic
logical partitions (LPARs) per processor, the System i family can help you
simplify your IT environment by enabling you to deploy new applications,
consolidate operations and meet service level agreements.
Deliver performance and efficiency with IBM POWER architecture
Based on advanced POWER5+ processors, the System i 595 enables you to easily
upgrade your processing power, while preserving existing software investments.
The proven, open and flexible design of IBM POWER™ processors builds on the IBM
AS/400® and eServer™ iSeries® family tradition of integration, virtualization
and outstanding systems management technology to bring new levels of
functionality and simplicity. And, of course, these new systems can often be
upgraded from earlier models.
