overview
This chapter describes the overall system architecture for the IBM Power System E870
(9119-MME) and IBM Power System E880 (9119-MHE) servers. The bandwidths that are
provided throughout the section are theoretical maximums that are used for reference.
The speeds that are shown are at an individual component level. Multiple components and
application implementation are key to achieving the best performance.
Always do the performance sizing at the application workload environment level and evaluate
performance by using real-world performance measurements and production workloads.
