Escala PL850R-L
Affordable AIX™ and Linux
entry- to mid-range
servers for mission critical
environments
 |
The Escala PL850R/T-L system with its mainframe-like features leads the way for AIX mid-level servers. Fast and affordable, this server is designed to be easy to install, integrate and manage:
- Innovative, powerful, affordable, open and adaptable AIX Power5TM system design
- Up to 40 dynamic micro-partitions - facilitating server consolidation projects through efficient resource utilization
- Mainframe-inspired reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) capabilities
|
The Escala PL850R/T-L is perfect as a
multitalented starter consolidation server for
mission-critical applications running on
AIX 5L™.
The performance, reliability and affordability
of the Escala PL850R/T-L make it a strategic
platform for server consolidation, scalable database servers, e-commerce application servers, Web servers, operations systems,
and business intelligence (BI) workloads.
Mainframe-inspired RAS helps keep systems available
The Escala PL850R/T-L continues the Escala
tradition of world-class RAS to an entry
system by including a sophisticated service
processor; hot-plug, hot-swappable and
redundant components; Chipkill™ ECC and
bit-steering memory; and dynamic deallocation of system components. The
resulting increase in system availability allows more work to be processed by the system.
Extensive configurability
The Escala PL850R/T-L server is available as a 4- or 8-way system with 1.5 GHz POWER5+ processors. Customers have
extensive growth potential with up to 64GB
of DDR2 memory, up to eight optional I/O
drawers resulting in 31.2TB of disk storage
and up to 59 hot-plug PCI-X slots in a choice
of 19" rack-mount or deskside packages.
For the ultimate in server availability, the
Escala PL850R/T-L can be clustered with
Bull’s ARF™ (Application Rollover Facility) or
IBM’s HACMP™ software designed to
provide continuous availability.
Outstanding Consolidation and Workload management capabilities
The Escala PL850R/T-L system provides
innovations like micro-partitioning which allows businesses to increase system utilization while helping to ensure
applications continue to get the resources they need.
Micro-partitioning helps lower costs by allowing the system to be finely tuned to consolidate multiple independent AIX and
Linux workloads. A single model PL850R/T-L
can host as many as 40 “virtual servers” (micro-partitions).
Breakthroughs like the virtual I/O, which
allows the undetectable sharing of expensive
disk drives, communications adapters and
Fibre Channel-attached disks, drive down complexity and hence administrative expenses.
The shared processor pool allows for
automatic non-disruptive balancing of
processing power between partitions assigned to the shared pool - resulting in increased throughput and utilization.
