This Book - IBM NeXtScale System Planning And Implementation Manual

1.4 This book

In this book, we compare NeXtScale to other systems, raising points to help you
select the right systems for your applications. We then take an in-depth look at
the chassis, servers, and fan and power controller (FPC). Next, we take a
broader view, covering implementations at scale, reviewing racks and cooling.
We then describe IBM's process for assembling and testing complete systems in
to Intelligent Cluster™ solutions. Next, we provide information about managing
the NeXtScale chassis and nodes. We finish by covering some of the software
that is available from IBM that is commonly used in a solution with NeXtScale
servers.
