A range of integrated workload management and Capacity on Demand features
can enable businesses to adjust workloads and performance dynamically to
meet constantly shifting priorities.
The Model 595 is offered as either a Standard or Enterprise Edition, each with
four i5/OS processor licenses. Extensive on demand capabilities and dynamic
partitioning for up to a total of 254 partitions of i5/OS, Linux, and AIX 5L are
supported.
The Model 595 is built using a processor book structure. Each 16-way processor
book has two 8-way multichip modules (MCM) with state of-the-art, 64-bit,
POWER5 processors. Each processor book has sixteen memory slots. Each
book also provides attachment capability for up to six HSL-2/RIO-G loops on
which HSL-2/RIO-G I/O drawers and towers can be attached.
The Model 595 consists at a minimum of two enclosures: a two-meter system
unit enclosure and an I/O tower about one meter in height.
