IBM launches three new blade servers
Using its own Power 7 architecture, IBM has brought three more blade servers to market.
IBM has unveiled three new blade servers to add to its server line-up for 2010.
The new servers are built on IBM's own Power 7 architecture, released back in February, and claim to offer reduced workload times as well as shaving 25 per cent from, overheads.
The PS700 is an entry level server featuring just one blade and the four-core Power 7 chip, however, the rest of the line continues to grow in specs.
The PS701 single socket product offers an eight-core Power 7 chip and the PS702 features two of the eight-core processors.
Whilst its previous Power 6 chip was just dual-core and had a single-thread, this next-generation Power 7 scales from two to eight cores and can run up to four threads at once.
The new technology has led IBM to make bold claims that the last of these server models the PS702 Express offers 188 per cent better performance per blade than the HP Integrity BL860c Blade and a massive 225 per cent better performance per blade than the Oracle Sun Blade T6340.
UK pricing has yet to be confirmed.
