Details

The Power 730 Express server is a two-socket highperformance, reliable and energy-efficient server supporting up to sixteen POWER7 cores and a choice of AIX®, IBM i or Linux operating systems. Combine the outstanding performance with PowerVM and the workload-optimizing capabilities of POWER7 and you are now ready to run multiple application and infrastructure workloads in a virtualized environment while driving higher utilization and reducing costs.

Power is the performance that delivers business advantage

The leadership performance of the POWER7 processor makes it possible for applications to run faster with fewer processors, resulting in lower per-core software licensing costs. In addition, a single system can now run more applications and reduce the number of required servers lowering infrastructure costs. The new Power 730 Express Model 8231-E2C adds increased memory capacity and high bandwidth Generation 2 PCI-Express slots to provide even greater performance capabilities. And it offers the capability to grow with your business through additional I/O and storage capacities via expansion units.

Power is effortlessly balancing workload performance

POWER7 Intelligent Threads technology enables workload optimization by automatically switching between one, two and four execution threads per processor core in order to optimize application throughput. In addition, Active Memory™ Expansion is a new POWER7 technology, which enables the effective maximum memory capacity to be much larger than the true physical memory without the complexity and cost of installing additional memory devices. These workloadoptimizing capabilities can improve application performance and ROI from the server.

Power is dynamic energy optimisation

EnergyScale™ Technology offers Intelligent Energy management features, which can dramatically and dynamically conserve power and further improve energy efficiency. These Intelligent Energy features enable the POWER7 processor to operate at a higher frequency if environmental conditions permit, for increased performance and performance per watt; or alternatively operate at a reduced frequency if user settings permit, for significant energy savings. The energy efficiency of the Power 730 is recognized by certain configurations being Energy Star® qualified.
