generation architecture delivers industry-leading performance, real reliability,
multidimensional scalability and unprecedented investment protection.
The DS5000 series is equally adept at supporting transactional applications such as databases
and OLTP, throughput-intensive applications such as HPC and rich media, and concurrent
workloads for consolidation and virtualization. With its relentless performance and superior
reliability and availability, the DS5000 series storage system can support the most
demanding service level agreements (SLAs). And when requirements change, you can add or
replace host interfaces, grow capacity, add cache and reconfigure the system on the fly—
ensuring that it will keep pace with your growing company.
This multi-dimensional scalability enables the DS5000 series storage system to extend
beyond the normal three- to four-year life cycle, protecting your storage investment by
delaying (or even eliminating) the expense of migrating data to a new system and allowing
you to amortize acquisition costs over extended periods of time. This life cycle longevity
enables the DS5000 series to continue delivering value long after other systems have been
retired. The DS5000 series’ drive-level encryption offers affordable data security with no
performance penalty. And the DS5000 series’ multiple replication options, drive level
encryption, and persistent cache backup can help ensure that any data in cache is captured
and safe in the event of a power outage.
Enhanced Virtualization for Consolidation
Virtualization is the technology that drives consolidation of multiple workloads onto a single
system that minimizes ongoing costs, and the IBM Power 750 system is designed to run
multiple operating systems simultaneously, to enable data center consolidation projects.
The POWER Hypervisor™ enables advanced virtualization technologies like LPAR,
dynamic LPAR, and virtual LAN, allowing computing resources to be intelligently
provisioned on-the-fly. Computing resources can be transparently shared across partitions,
increasing system utilization while ensuring applications are provisioned with the resources
they need to operate according to business requirements.
The optional PowerVM™ Standard Edition software takes
virtualization a step further, with the following capabilities:
•
micro-partitioning with up to 10 micro-partitions per
processor, and up to 254 per system
•
multiple shared processor pools
•
virtual I/O server
•
shared dedicated capacity
•
PowerVM Lx86
Virtualization can be further enhanced with PowerVM Enterprise
Edition, which adds on the Live Partition Mobility (LPM) feature, which allows partitions to
