POWER7
New IBM POWER7™ processor-based systems represent a true leap forward to more intelligent systems that minimize complexity, automate processes, and reduce energy consumption, downtime and other operational costs.  Featuring an innovative multi-core, 45 nanometer design, running at speeds of over 4.1 GHz, with up to 8-cores per socket, and four threads per core, POWER7 systems combined with IBM systems software, middleware and storage deliver unprecedented performance for both transactional and throughput computing.  IBM POWER6™ processor-based systems are available from Mark 3 Systems as well.

To achieve maximum performance for both the system and its virtual machines, the new POWER7 processor-based systems are designed with workload optimizing technologies. New Intelligent Threads technology dynamically switches the processor threading mode to deliver optimal performance for different workloads. TurboCore™ mode offers the option to optimize the system for frequency and cache utilization delivering the maximum per core performance for database and transaction workloads. Active Memory™ Expansion helps reduce memory costs by enabling physical memory to be logically expanded up to 100 percent for some workloads – such as SAP.

POWER7 systems enable massive workload consolidation to drive maximum system utilization and cost efficiency. IBM PowerVM™ and VMControl virtualization software plan support for up to 1,000 virtual machines for AIX®, IBM i and Linux® applications workloads on a single POWER7 processor-based system. PowerVM Live Partition Mobility enables companies to eliminate many scheduled outages by easily migrating applications between POWER6™ and POWER7 systems.
