For success in today's demanding marketplace, a business needs to maximize the return on their IT investments, and improve responsiveness of systems and people. By delivering leadership technologies and exceptional price/performance, IBM offerings are able to improve your bottom line. But competing against larger companies also requires an investment in technology and innovation that has to be justifiable from day one. The ability to cut costs with highly energy efficient solutions and leadership virtualisation make the IBM BladeCenter JS22 Express a desirable blade server for organisations of any size. Companies can save on energy costs while managing growth, complexity and risk, all while using technology that makes innovation in their business real and sets them apart from the competition.
The exceptional price/performance in a virtualised environment; breadth of available applications; reliability, availability, serviceability (RAS) characteristics; energy efficiency; and leadership virtualisation of the BladeCenter JS22 Express makes it a highly desirable blade server for organisations of any size. Powered by new IBM POWER6™ processor cores, the JS22 Express will bring significant rewards to clients who want a durable server solution for consolidating multiple applications and servers into a single BladeCenter transitioning from traditional rack servers to highly efficient blades, distributing Java™ and Web serving applications, running high performance computing (HPC) applications and implementing commercial applications in an AIX® or Linux® environment. The flexibility to use both the leading-edge UNIX® and Linux operating systems (OS)-concurrently if desired-broadens the application offerings available and increases the ways clients can put this power to work.
The BladeCenter JS22 Express server, a feature-rich, pre-configured blade, is the answer to meet the stringent requirements of small businesses for advanced technology at an attractive price. The JS22 Express delivers many new leading-edge technologies-support for AIX Version 6, IBM's industrial strength UNIX, and Linux operating systems; IBM EnergyScale technology; IBM Advanced POWER Virtualisation (APV)-Standard and Enterprise Editions-and AltiVec™ SIMD acceleration functionality in a single, high-performance, yet cost-efficient blade server with features designed for high reliability. The IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager for POWER and browser-based Integrated Virtualisation Manager software makes it easier than ever to achieve increased utilisation and energy efficiency by utilising the APV and EnergyScale capabilities of the system.
Specifically, the BladeCenter JS22 Express blade provides:
