IBM Systems and Technology Improved utilization and energy efficiency As the price of energy increases and resources are limited, energy efficiency through better utilization has become more important. The leadership performance of the IBM Power 520 Express translates into greater available computing power for applications and allows you to leverage PowerVM Editions and virtualize your infrastructure to improve server utilization and energy efficiency. Supported by the AIX, IBM i and Linux operating systems. PowerVM Editions provide an innovative set of comprehensive systems technologies and services designed to enable you to easily aggregate and manage virtualized resources. Micro-partitions enable the Power 520 to be split into a flexible and highly utilized system. IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ software exploits POWER6 processorbased EnergyScale technology which monitors power/ thermal utilization and conserves energy by enabling power management features for improved system utilization and energy efficiency. Integration and simplicity With IBM i, the Power 520 Express becomes a highly scalable, virus resistant server that integrates a trusted combination of relational database, security, web services, networking and storage management capabilities. The preintegration and testing of the IBM i operating system is a key factor in enabling companies to deploy applications faster and maintain them with fewer staff. Running applications based on this IBM i operating system has helped companies over many years to focus on innovation and delivering new value to their business.
