Power your planet.Introducing the next generation of Power Systems with POWER7
Smarter systems for a smarter planet.
New technology
– POWER7 delivers a huge leap in capacity, virtualization and
energy efficiency, while still delivering leadership per core
performance
New systems
Power 750 -- a midrange business server
Power 770 -- a modular enterprise server
Power 780 -- a new category of scalable high end servers
IBM i
– IBM i 6.1.1 – supported with POWER7

IBM i Strategy and Roadmap
“With our clearly defined roadmaps for POWER
processors and the IBM i operating environment,
IBM's commitment to our i clients is solid and
unchanged. We are making substantial
investments in the future of i as an important,
strategic element in the IBM product portfolio.”
New IBM white paper reviews IBM i Strategy
and Roadmap– Includes information about the IBM i market, Power
Systems and IBM i roadmap, and concludes with a listing of
the wide range of IBM initiatives to help businesses reduce
costs, improve service, and manage risk.

IBM i Offers Lower Total Cost of Ownership than x86 Systems
New report from ITG
demonstrates value provided
with IBM i and unification of
Power Systems
– Costs for use of Power Systems and
IBM i 6.1 average
• 41 % less than x86 servers and
Microsoft Windows
• 47 % less than for x86 servers
and Linux
– IBM i deployments offer lower
software, support, and personnel costs

More attractive pricing of On/Off CoD and of Utility CoDApplicable to Power 770, Power 780 and Power 595
New On/Off “breakeven” time periods compared to permanent activation
Around 360 On/Off days (vs. previous 120 days)
List price per day of 1 On/Off processor core running IBM i and 8 GB
memory now as little as $180
Utility CoD pricing also much more favorable
More Standard Trial CoD resource availableThis is the no-charge repeatable 30-day trial,
Was: up to 2 processors and up to 4GB memory activated
New: up to 8 processors and up to 64GB memory activated

19-inch Rack Considerations
Cables lay outside width of processor enclosure
Be VERY careful of 19-inch, narrow racks! Not all 19-inch racks will handle Power 770 or Power 780
POWER7 modular systems with interconnect cables are 535mm
(21 inches) vs. standard 19 inch. Cables extend out equally on both side.
Multi-enclosure configurations
supported in IBM “enterprise” racks: IBM 7014-T00, -T42, #0551, #0553
No problem with a front door, but if use rack
trim kit, need new rack trim kit for multi-
drawer cabling

POWER6 to POWER7 Upgrades
Power 570 (POWER6) can be upgraded to Power 770 or 780
– Upgrades GA on June 4, 2010
Power 520 Statement of Direction– IBM plans to provide upgrade paths in 2010 from the POWER6 Power 520 2 and 4-core
servers to next generation POWER7 processor-based entry servers.
Power 595 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. 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.

The IBM benchmarks results shown herein were derived using particular, well configured, development-level and generally-available computer systems. Buyers should
consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering buying and should consider conducting application oriented testing. For
additional information about the benchmarks, values and systems tested, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized resel ler or access the Web site of the benchmark
consortium or benchmark vendor.
IBM benchmark results can be found in the IBM Power Systems Performance Report at http://www.ibm.com/systems/p/hardware/system_perf.html.
All performance measurements were made with AIX or AIX 5L operating systems unless otherwise indicated to have used Linux. For new and upgraded systems, AIX
Version 4.3, AIX 5L or AIX 6 were used. All other systems used previous versions of AIX. The SPEC CPU2006, SPEC2000, LINPACK, and Technical Computing
benchmarks were compiled using IBM's high performance C, C++, and FORTRAN compilers for AIX 5L and Linux. For new and upgraded systems, the latest versions of
these compilers were used: XL C Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX, XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX, XL FORTRAN Enterprise Edition V9.1 for AIX, XL C/C++
Advanced Edition V7.0 for Linux, and XL FORTRAN Advanced Edition V9.1 for Linux. The SPEC CPU95 (retired in 2000) tests used preprocessors, KAP 3.2 for FORTRAN
and KAP/C 1.4.2 from Kuck & Associates and VAST-2 v4.01X8 from Pacific-Sierra Research. The preprocessors were purchased separately from these vendors. Other
software packages like IBM ESSL for AIX, MASS for AIX and Kazushige Goto’s BLAS Library for Linux were also used in some benchmarks.
For a definition/explanation of each benchmark and the full list of detailed results, visit the Web site of the benchmark consortium or benchmark vendor.

Notes on performance estimates
rPerf for AIX
rPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other IBM UNIX systems. It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads, TPC and SPEC benchmarks. The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way. The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU, cache and memory. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations.
rPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX and other pertinent software at the time of systemannouncement. Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics. The IBM eServer pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 1.0. Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance, actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration. Note that the rPerf methodology used for the POWER6 systems is identical to that used for the POWER5 systems. Variations in incremental system performance may be observed in commercial workloads due to changes in the underlying system architecture.
All performance estimates are provided "AS IS" and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM. Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks, and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying. For additional information about rPerf, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller.
========================================================================
CPW for IBM i
Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of processors running the IBM i operating system. Performance in customer environments may vary. The value is based on maximum configurations. More performance information is available in the Performance Capabilities Reference at: www.ibm.com/systems/i/solutions/perfmgmt/resource.html
