Partners wowed by IBM's Power 700 series large and midrange servers.
IBM Business Partners were briefed on the new lineup of POWER7 servers today, and reaction from the field was: "Awesome."
In the midrange and large server market, "this blows away the competition," said one Business Partner. The new servers, which are identified as the Power 700 series, are extremely energy efficient and can save companies up to 90 percent of the energy used by older Power 5 models in certain comparisons, according to the company. Several of the servers even carry the ENERGY STAR label.
ENERGY STAR is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency helping people save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices.
ENERGY STAR was established to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy; and make it easy for consumers and businesses to identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sacrificing performance, features, and comfort. Products can earn the label by meeting the energy efficiency requirements set forth in ENERGY STAR product specifications, established by the EPA.
More information on the new POWER7server lineup will be released as it becomes available.
