Power Architecture™ and POWER5The POWER5 design should boost individual processor performance and aggregate system bandwidth in a way that Intel will not be able to match until the Montecito and Tanglewood processors appear. POWER5 should provide IBM with an edge during 2004 and 2005. Source: POWER5 Tops on Bandwidth, Kevin Krewell

Extending Capacity on Demand Leadership

“On/Off Capacity on Demand is like having a line of credit. The iSeries provides us with the flexibility to pay for only what we use, and saves us the cost of installing additional server capacity that likely would be underutilized”

Marshall Andrew, VP Information TechnologyStation Casinos

• Capacity Upgrade on Demand • On/Off Capacity on Demand• New Memory Capacity on Demand• New Reserve Capacity on Demand

– Automatically enable reserve capacity if processor utilization reaches 100%

* Product Preview. Planned availability 3Q 2004 This presentation contains information about IBM’s plans and directions. Such plans are subject to change without notice.

“By centralizing our IT operations on a single platform in a single location, we knew that we could

not only reduce the cost of running and maintaining

systems, but also accelerate the delivery of new services to our

branch network.”

The Value of Virtualization

• Reduce costs by increasing asset utilization

• Redeploy talent to manageyour business, not your infrastructure

• Rapidly provision new servers

• Drive new levels of IT staff productivity

• Consolidate storage & backup

• Simplify server management and operations

• Communicate more securely with virtual Ethernet
