Instrumented. Interconnected. Intelligent.

There are one billion transistors per human, each costing

one ten-millionth of a cent.

The information created by a trillion networked things

grows exponentially.

Algorithms and systems turn mountains of data into actions that

make the world better. Smarter.

Smarter MoneyPower Systems performance, security and availability are capabilities that provide the world’s largest banks with the ability to move today’s money - intangible, invisible information - from a paycheck to a bank to a retailer and back into another business account.

Smarter CitiesCities large and small depend on the ability of Power Systems to sift through the data needed to not only solve crimes and respond to emergencies, but to help prevent them. Power Systems help manage traffic, share information across city agencies, keep citizens informed and give them access to services.

Smarter TelecomTelcos are using Power Systems to deliver new services dynamically to an exploding number of devices - and Power’s scalability means that new services can be added quickly, new clients can be billed accurately, and costs can be reduced with consolidation.

POWER7 High-End Server Statement of Direction

IBM plans to deliver a new high-end server in 2010 with up to 256 POWER7 processor cores

Designed to operate within the same physical footprint and energy envelope of the current 64-core Power 595 server.

High-Voltage DC Power option

IBM also plans to provide an upgrade path from the current IBM Power 595 server with 12X I/O to the new POWER7 high-end server.

Enterprises with multiple systems leveraging PowerVM™ Live Partition Mobility may use this function to maintain application availability during the upgrade process.

Three year Oracle subscription & support savings to run SAP landscapes on Oracle DB when you consolidate 29 HP ProLiant DL380 G5 systems with a total of 232 cores utilized at 15% into two IBM Power 750 Express 32-core systems utilized at 80%. Save 86% of the floor space, and 88% of the energy costs. Studies also show AIX has 1/10th the downtime of Windows.Also, Power 750 with PowerVM has $244,860 lower Oracle support & subscription cost over three years than consolidating to 15 new HP Nehalem-EP systems.

$461,000 less.

For SAP on Oracle DB, you can be more reliant on IBM Power than on a pile of HP ProLiants.
