The IBM Flex System™ p24L, p260 and p460 Compute Nodes are servers based on IBM® POWER® architecture technologies. These compute nodes run in IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis units to provide a high-density, high-performance compute node environment, using advanced processing technology.

Description:

IBM P24L 1457-7FL Power7 3.5Ghz 16Core Computer Node

Product Details:

The IBM Flex System p24L, p260 and p460 Compute Nodes are high-performance POWER7-based servers optimized for virtualization, performance, and efficiency. This section describes the key features of the server.

Scalability and performance

The compute nodes offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:

·The IBM POWER7 and POWER7+ processors, which improve productivity by offering superior system performance with AltiVec floating point and integer SIMD instruction set acceleration.

·Integrated PowerVM technology, providing superior virtualization performance and flexibility.

·Choice of processors, including an 8-core POWER7+ processor operating at 4.1 GHz with 80 MB of L3 cache (10 MB per core).

·Up to four processors, 32 cores, and 128 threads to maximize the concurrent execution of applications.

·Three levels of integrated cache including 10 MB (POWER7+) or 4 MB (POWER7) of L3 cache per core.

·Up to 16 (p24L, p260) or 32 (p460) DDR3 ECC memory RDIMMs that provide a memory capacity of up to 256 GB (p260) or 512 GB (p460).

·Support for Active Memory Expansion, which allows the effective maximum memory capacity to be much larger than the true physical memory through innovative compression techniques.

·The use of solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of traditional spinning drives (HDDs), which can significantly improve I/O performance. An SSD can support up to 100 times more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than a typical HDD.

·Up to eight (p24L, p260) or 16 (p460) 10Gb Ethernet ports per compute node to maximize networking resources in a virtualized environment.

·Includes two (p24L, p260) or four (p460) P7IOC high-performance I/O bus controllers to maximize throughput and bandwidth.

·Support for high-bandwidth I/O adapters, up to two in each p24L or p260 Compute Node or up to four in each p460 Compute Node. Support for 10 Gb Ethernet, 8 Gb Fibre Channel, and QDR InfiniBand.

Availability and serviceability

The p24L, p260 and p460 provide many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime: 

·ECC and chipkill provide error detection and recovery in the event of a non-correctable memory failure.

·Tool-less cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as drives, memory, and adapter cards.

·A light path diagnostics panel and individual light path LEDs quickly lead the technician to failed (or failing) components. This simplifies servicing, speeds up problem resolution, and helps improve system availability.

·Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) detects when system components (for example, processors, memory, and hard disk drives) operate outside of standard thresholds and generates proactive alerts in advance of possible failure, therefore increasing uptime.

·Available solid-state drive (SSDs) offer significantly better reliability than traditional mechanical HDDs for greater uptime.

·A built-in Integrated Flexible Service Processor (FSP) continuously monitors system parameters, triggers alerts, and performs recovering actions in case of failures to minimize downtime.

·There is a front panel USB port for upgrades and local servicing tasks.

·There is a three-year customer replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty, next business day 9x5. Optional service upgrades are available.

Manageability and security

Powerful systems management features simplify management of the p260 and p460:

·Includes an FSP to monitor server availability and to provide diagnostics.

Integrates with the IBM Flex System™ Manager for proactive systems management. It offers ·comprehensive systems management for the entire IBM Flex System platform that help to increase uptime, reduce costs, and improve productivity through advanced server management capabilities.

Energy efficiency

The compute nodes offer the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs, increase energy availability, and contribute to the green environment:

·The component-sharing design of the IBM Flex System chassis provides ultimate power and cooling savings.

·Support for IBM EnergyScale to dynamically optimize processor performance versus power consumption and system workload.

·Active Energy Manager provides advanced power management features with actual real-time energy monitoring, reporting, and capping features.

·SSDs consume as much as 80% less power than traditional spinning 2.5-inch HDDs.

·The servers use hexagonal ventilation holes, a part of IBM Calibrated Vectored Cooling™ technology. Hexagonal holes can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow through the system.
