Introduction to IBM System p, IBM System i and IBM Power:

IBM Power systems are powerful UNIX-based servers which inherited the majority of their merits,  such  as  Availability,  Scalability  and Reliability, from their ancestor IBM Mainframe line of computers.  Due to their high processing power,  these  servers  are  used  in a variety of applications such as financial applications,   engineering   design,   banking   systems,   complex  numerical calculations,   ERP,   CRM,   Database  Serving,   Web Serving  and  different types  of  simulation  (such as climate simulation,  genetic/molecular research simulations, new drugs simulation, …).

AS  IBM Power systems can run three operating systems : IBM AIX, Linux for  Power  and  i5/OS,  they  can  be  exploited  as  reliable  and economical servers  for  different  processing  solutions.  These ower systems can be found in three categories:  Entry-Level, Mid-Range and High-End Servers.

Unique features like  Logical PARtitioning (LPAR),  Dynamic LPAR (DLPAR), a   maximum   of   10  LPARS  per  processor   (Micro  Partitioning),  Shared Processor Pool, Virtual Ethernet , Virtual SCSI Disk, Clustering and Disaster Recovery solutions together with tens of other features increase the value of

IBM Power Systems.  Key features of IBM Power server family are their Processing Power, Virtualization facilities and Sever Consolidation
