The way the world works is changing. Consumers want instant answers
and ubiquitous access from smart devices. They are having billions of
conversations on global social networks. Businesses selling goods and
services to these consumers are utilizing newly available information
and instantaneous communication capabilities to more effectively market.
Born-on-the-web companies are delivering massive amounts of information to millions of users. These smart companies have one thing in
common—they are exploiting Linux and emerging solutions to deliver
the right services at the right time to the right clients.
The new IBM PowerLinux™ 7R4 has been designed to leverage the
leadership performance of the POWER7+ processor. The resulting
combination of secure, reliable computing and energy efficient virtualization make it an ideal server for data intense workload applications.
The PowerLinux 7R4 is a two- or four-socket server that supports
16 or 32 cores with outstanding energy efficiency and diagnostic features
in a 5U (EIA Units) package. The PowerLinux 7R4 with POWER7+
Intelligent Energy management features is designed to help clients
become more energy efficient. And the PowerLinux 7R4 also implements
Light Path diagnostics, which provide an obvious and intuitive means to
positively identify failing components.
