IBM eserver BladeCenter JS20 — Fast 1.6 GHz SMP Processor Brings POWER Technology to the BladeCenter Environment
Overview
Increase the flexibility of your high-density BladeCenter™ with IBM eserver BladeCenter JS20 blade servers with PowerPC® 970 (PPC 970), 1.6 GHz processors.
This new offering includes two standard 1.6 GHz processors with a standard 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB). Install these blades in a new BladeCenter or upgrade an existing BladeCenter installation.
The JS20 blade server, in a BladeCenter chassis, offers advanced application serving with performance, density, and scalability.
At your command are two powerful PPC 970 processors, high-speed memory, dual Gigabit Ethernet connections, and comprehensive high-availability and systems-management features.
The PPC 970 processor is derived from the POWER4™ technology. It enhances the POWER4 instruction set with 162 Single Instruction/Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions that allow many processing elements to perform the same operations on different data in parallel. This SIMD capability increases the performance of the JS20 blade server for many compute-intensive applications.
Enhanced performance is in conjunction with the new economic approach to the deployment of large numbers of powerful servers that require less space and power resources inherent in the BladeCenter chassis.
Powerful blade-thin computing: The IBM eserver BladeCenter chassis and IBM eserver BladeCenter JS20 blade servers are the key components to building your blade configuration. Optionally available Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches support advanced configurations.
