IBM Power 750 Express

server

High performance, energy-efficient platform for server

consolidation, multiapplication and database serving

Highlights

●

For consolidation of UNIX®, IBM i and

x86 Linux® workloads and virtualized

application servers

●

For medium-to-large database servers

The IBM Power® 750 Express® server delivers the outstanding per-

formance of the POWER7® processor. The performance, capacity,

energy efficiency and virtualization capabilities of the Power 750 Express

make it an ideal consolidation, database or multiapplication server.

As a consolidation or highly virtualized multiapplication server, the

Power 750 Express offers tremendous conﬁguration ﬂexibility to meet the

most demanding capacity and growth requirements. Utilize the full capa-

bility of the system by leveraging industrial-strength PowerVM™ virtual-

ization for AIX®, IBM i, and Linux. PowerVM offers the capability to

dynamically adjust system resources based on workload demands so that

each partition gets the resources it needs. Active Memory™ Expansion is

a new POWER7 technology that enables the effective maximum memory

capacity to be much larger than the true physical memory. Innovative

compression/decompression of memory content can enable memory

expansion up to 100 percent. This can enable a partition to do signiﬁ-

cantly more work or enable a server to run more partitions with the same

physical amount of memory.

For database servers, the leadership performance of the POWER7

processor makes it possible for applications to run faster with fewer

processors, resulting in lower per core software licensing costs. The

POWER7 processor contains innovative technologies that maximize per-

formance based on client workloads and computing needs. Intelligent

Threads technology enables workload optimization by selecting the most
