(pressebox) SAN FRANCISCO, 09.04.2008 – At a customer event here today, IBM (NYSE:IBM) announced two high-end Power Systems models – the world’s fastest UNIX® server and a unique water-cooled supercomputer. The new systems offer sophisticated IBM virtualization technology and energy-saving capabilities to help dramatically reduce bottom-line operating costs, such as those for energy, floor space and systems management, while improving system performance, helping customers transition to a new enterprise data center.

The new UNIX enterprise server, the Power(TM) 595, designed to extend IBM’s leadership in the UNIX market, will be attractive to existing IBM clients as well as Sun Solaris and HP UNIX users. For example, IBM’s Power enterprise 64-core server delivers twice the performance at a comparable price as a similarly configured HP Superdome Itanium® system. (1)

Very cool, I’ll need to read up about these new Power Systems, they do sound very cool. More choice in platforms and innovation has to be a good thing for the market and the end user in terms of choice and options for their business.
