Highlights:
In today's business climate, companies can gain a significant competitive advantage by adapting quickly to shifting conditions-embracing uncertainty rather than resisting it. Through flexible, responsive IT platforms designed to anticipate and adapt to constantly changing business landscapes, companies can simplify complex infrastructures, safeguard key assets, reduce migration risks and help achieve on demand computing without compromising system affordability. |
IBM eServer(r) p5 systems-the next generation of IBM eServer pSeries(r)
servers using Power Architecture(tm) technology-build on the IBM tradition
of outstanding UNIX(r) and Linux(r) operating system (OS) innovation and
performance to help businesses excel in an on demand world. Innovations in
the eServer p5 product line range from the IBM POWER5(tm) processor-our
most advanced 64-bit RISC chip-to IBM Virtualization Engine(tm) systems
technologies that set the standard for systems utilization and management.
With these breakthroughs, the eServer p5 product line represents a new
paradigm for UNIX and Linux environments.
In the past, clients were asked to trade function, reliability and
system utilization for price. However, with the eServer p5 product line,
such compromises may no longer be necessary. These servers extend the
leading-edge capabilities of pSeries systems to enable highly adaptive,
efficient operations in an extremely competitive marketplace-helping
businesses simplify their IT infrastructures, safeguard critical data and
mitigate the potential risks of platform migration without compromising
affordability, responsiveness or flexibility.

RS/6000 Enterprise Server Model H80
The
Model H80 symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) consists of a rack-mountable
processor drawer containing 1, 2 or 4 450 MHz or 6 500 MHz copper-based
64-bit RS64 III microprocessors (the same advanced technology used in
the award-winning Model S80). IBM's unique copper chip technology produces
faster and more reliable processors, improving speed and reducing the
heat generated.
The H80 comes standard with 256MB memory, which can be increased to 16GB. And with two system busses running at 2GB/sec., it has more than enough performance and memory to meet the needs of many demanding e-business applications.
The H80 also comes standard with 14 hot-plug PCI I/O slots (with a combined bandwidth of 1GB/sec.) packaged in an I/O drawer for configuration flexibility. Up to two I/O drawers may be installed for a total of 28 slots. Optional boot bays are provided in the first I/O drawer (space for 2 slots must be used, leaving 12). Integrated fast Ethernet, SCSI-2 F/W and Ultra2 SCSI controllers are standard in each I/O drawer, leaving all slots available for your use.
Highlights
- Powerful, up to six-way 64-bit SMP rack-drawer server with copper chip technology
- Outstanding value for e-business, Web hosting, ERP, CRM, SCM and other business-critical applications
- Advanced rack-mount packaging for configuration flexibility and reduced floor space
- Designed with significant availability and reliability features
- Easy to migrate from Model H70 to take advantage of improved capacity, scalability, reliability and performance
- Powered by AIX®, the leading commercial UNIX® OS

New York – IBM is putting its brawn behind the Linux software platform, making all its network computers compatible with an operating system IBM now sees as superior to Unix or Microsoft Windows for future Internet commerce.
The hardware giant announced that it would configure its four lines of computer servers to work with Linux, a system that is distributed for free on the Web and championed by legions of independent programmers.
Coming from IBM, the move essentially finalizes the mainstreaming of Linux – elevating it from the rank of grass-root
Naturally, the company won’t be abandoning Windows and other Unix-based systems, which still dominate this fast-growing market.
But the new push into Linux "puts the world’s leading server vendor on a side other than Sun and Microsoft, which are opposed to open standards and which favor closed, proprietary operating systems," says James Sciales, and IBM spokesman. "We believe that open standards are the key to the next-generation of the Internet, and Linux is where we’re placing our bets."
