PowerVM FW1050

PowerVM is an enterprise-class virtualization solution that provides a secure, flexible, and

scalable virtualization for Power servers. PowerVM enables logical partitions (LPARs) and

server consolidation. Clients can run AIX, IBM i, and Linux operating systems on Power

servers with a world-class reliability, high availability (HA), and serviceability capabilities

together with the leading performance of the Power platform.

This solution provides workload consolidation that helps clients control costs and improves

overall performance, availability, flexibility, and energy efficiency. Power servers, which are

combined with PowerVM technology, help consolidate and simplify your IT environment. Key

capabilities include the following ones:

• Improve server utilization and I/O resource-sharing to reduce total cost of ownership and better use IT assets.
• Improve business responsiveness and operational speed by dynamically reallocating resources to applications as needed to better match changing business needs or handle unexpected changes in demand.
• Simplify IT infrastructure management by making workloads independent of hardware resources so that you make business-driven policies to deliver resources based on time, cost, and service-level requirements
