IBM i 6.1 with POWER6 processor based-servers can be a virtual partition, receiving its I/O resources from another IBM i 6.1 or PowerVM™ VIOS partition. IBM System Storage solutions (DS5000, DS4000, DS3000) for mid-sized clients are supported via PowerVM VIOS with IBM i 6.1 partitions on POWER6 processor-based servers. Intelligently flow memory between partitions based on workload demands, improving memory utilization, with PowerVM Active Memory Sharing on POWER6 processor-based servers. PowerVM Shared Processor Pools enables grouping micro-partitions into separate pools and setting limits on the amount of processor capacity each pool can consume to help reduce software costs on POWER6 processor-based servers POWER6 processor-based servers deliver enhanced reliability features including Processor Instruction Retry Deliver the performance required for IBM i applications with POWER6 processor based-servers. These 1 to 64 processor core servers provide industry leading performance for IBM i, AIX®, and Linux operating systems. IBM Power servers with POWER6 processors running IBM i can deliver significant benefits for customers including:
