First, the number of servers which support attachment is planned to be expanded to include the Power 770/780 (9117-MMC/9179MHC) and other future servers. Second, the attachment of up to two #5887 EXP24S Disk Drawers downstream of the Ultra Drawer is planned. The Ultra Drawer's integrated SAS controllers would then run these EXP24S drawers (up to 48 disk drives) in addition to the 30 SSD in the Ultra Drawer. Assuming 600GB drives are used in the EXP24S, this would provide a total of up to 40 TB storage capacity in only 5U of space while using zero PCIe slots. Third, then later in time, IBM also plans to provide Easy Tier functionality for the EXP30 Ultra Drawer and downstream EXP24S Disk Drawer combination for AIX and AIX/VIOS. The Ultra drawer's integrated SAS controllers would automatically monitor and manage the contents of the SSD and HDD and place "hot" (frequently accessed) content on the SSD and "cold" (less frequently accessed) content on the HDD. Fourth, IBM plans to expand the integration of IBM Power Systems with the EXP30 Ultra SSD I/O Drawer and with selected IBM storage solutions such as the IBM Storage System DS8000. With this planned advanced integration configuration, the Ultra Drawer would provide an extremely low latency cache for the IBM SAN, improving overall I/O performance while maintaining the SAN's advance capabilities such as FlashCopy and Metro/Global Mirroring and supporting Power Systems Live Partition Mobility capability.

Solarflare's unique hardware-accelerated virtualized NIC (vNIC) architecture can provide high scalability, high throughput, and low latency benefits to a wide range of network-intensive applications. Each vNIC provides a dedicated channel between the network adapter and host software, allowing network I/O processing to be distributed efficiently over multiple CPU cores. This can reduce or eliminate processing bottlenecks and can dramatically improve I/O performance on busy networks. • Solarflare SFN6122F 10Gb Ethernet adapters support the OpenOnload application acceleration middleware which can provide ultra-low latency, very high throughput, and reduced latency jitter even as message loads increase. SFN6122F with OpenOnload bypasses the network stack in the operating system kernel by dedicating a vNIC to each accelerated application, reducing the processing associated with networking and improving core scaling. SFN6122F application acceleration is based on industry standard APIs and protocols, so, for applications written to standard POSIX socket APIs, 10 Gb Ethernet accelerated performance can be achieved without modifications to applications, proprietary protocols, or specialized networks.

Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering buying and should consider conducting application oriented testing. For additional information about the benchmarks, values and systems tested, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller or access the Web site of the benchmark consortium or benchmark vendor. IBM benchmark results can be found in the IBM Power Systems Performance Report at http://www.ibm.com/systems/p/hardware/system_perf.html . All performance measurements were made with AIX or AIX 5L operating systems unless otherwise indicated to have used Linux. For new and upgraded systems, the latest versions of AIX were used. All other systems used previous versions of AIX. The SPEC CPU2006, LINPACK, and Technical Computing benchmarks were compiled using IBM's high performance C, C++, and FORTRAN compilers for AIX 5L and Linux. For new and upgraded systems, the latest versions of these compilers were used: XL C for AIX v11.1, XL C/C++ for AIX v11.1, XL FORTRAN for AIX v13.1, XL C/C++ for Linux v11.1, and XL FORTRAN for Linux v13.1.

It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads, TPC and SPEC benchmarks. The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way. The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU, cache and memory. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations. • rPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement. Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics. The IBM eServer pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 1.0. Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance, actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration. Note that the rPerf methodology used for the POWER6 systems is identical to that used for the POWER5 systems. Variations in incremental system performance may be observed in commercial workloads due to changes in the underlying system architecture. All performance estimates are provided "AS IS" and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM. Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks, and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying. For additional information about rPerf, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller. ======================================================================== CPW for IBM i Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of processors running the IBM i operating system. Performance in customer environments may vary. The value is based on maximum configurations.
