IBM PowerLinux

Linux = x86

Who needs another Linux platform


Why PowerLinux for Java & WebSphere Applications- Fewer servers support same # workloads, clients do more for less at comparable TCA

IBM Linux Value-Add

IBM Installation ToolkitSDK for PowerLinux

� Leadership workload performance

• 36% better Java performance than best 4-socket HP Sandy Bridge

• 39% better Java performance than best 40-core Westmere EX

� Vastly superior virtualized workload throughput

�125% greater throughput from same # VMs running same workload

�Fewer servers support more workloads and greater throughput

� Exploit more threads and larger on chip cache• POWER7+ has 4 threads per core vs. Intel’s 2 threads per core

• POWER7+ has 2.5x larger cache – exploit Java “pre-fetch” tuning

� Java apps exploit latest IBM JVM • Latest IBM JVM has been highly optimized for POWER7+
