Everyone knows what “performance” meant for IT in the past. But the
IT landscape is evolving rapidly. And, as processes become more interre-
lated and complex, IT is being called upon to solve challenging new
problems—and implement new projects, both with higher service levels
and in a more cost effective manner. IBM has the systems, software and
expertise to help clients implement projects that make their IT an enabler
of innovation and a catalyst for business change in this new world of
critical information.
Today’s IT performance means delivering services faster, with higher
quality and with superior economics. The emerging measures of IT per-
formance are around agility and the ability to help the business capitalize
on new opportunities. IT is measured on providing an infrastructure that
can handle rapid growth and manage business risk while meeting higher
required service levels. And of course it is expected that new services will
be delivered within tighter budget constraints—with IT expected to do
more with less and find the most efficient solutions possible.
Designed for virtualized consolidation of business-critical workloads, the
IBM® Power® 770 delivers on performance, availability, efficiency and
virtualization in a way that is unique in the industry. PowerVM® virtual-
ization enables continuous, dynamic resource adjustments across all
partitions and operating environments to optimize performance and
enable higher utilization levels while optimizing energy usage. Supported
environments include AIX®, IBM i, Linux for Power applications, all
on the same system.
Ever increasing numbers of IBM Power clients are reporting enormous
savings from faster provisioning using cloud enabled technologies. Of
course this comes in addition to the more traditional savings of reduced

operational availability and security that can only come from
IBM. All of this is delivered on the latest technology from a
vendor you can trust. No wonder more and more companies
are switching to IBM Power Systems™.
For database serving, the Power 770 provides a system
designed for demanding, critical, cloud-enabled workloads.
Demonstrating outstanding performance across multiple
database solutions and multiple operating systems, the
Power 770 shows its true heart and soul when entrusted with a
company’s most treasured IT asset, the database of critical
information.
For transaction processing workloads, the IBM Power 770
server delivers outstanding performance, mainframe-inspired
reliability, modular nondisruptive growth and innovative virtu-
alization technologies. These features are integrated to enable
the simplified management of growth, complexity and risk.
For complete business system needs, the Power 770 provides a
unique combination of performance across multiple workloads
and availability features to keep your business running. In addi-
tion, PowerVM virtualization helps to maximize your efficiency
and nondisruptive growth options are designed to keep your
costs in line with your business. With all this coming together
in one integrated energy-saving package, the Power 770 makes
a great business solution.
Available in configurations up to 64 POWER7+ processor
cores, this new version of the popular modular design delivers
more capacity with more efficiency than ever before. The result
is more performance per system, more performance per foot-
print, and best of all, more performance per watt. This innova-
tive design approach also enables near-linear scaling and
nondisruptive growth while maximizing your investment.
POWER7+ technology, PowerVM virtualization and the
Power 770—the ideal combination for your IT environment.
Industry-leading POWER7+ performance
The POWER7+ processor serves up several new and
unique innovations to continue the long history of leadership
performance that now serves as the standard for the industry.
New with POWER7+ are a larger L3 cache and two built-in
accelerators for additional performance, the Active Memory
Expansion hardware accelerator and the AIX cryptographic
accelerator. L3 cache on POWER7+ processors has been
increased to 10 MB per core, 2.5 times that found on previous
POWER7 processors. Imbedded accelerators for memory com-
pression and AIX file encryption now offload processors from
these tasks and improve performance of those functions.

Increased clock speeds provide additional performance gains
to make the POWER7+ processor a continued workhorse for
critical workloads. What this means is that applications can run
faster and be more responsive, which can result in competitive
advantages and higher customer satisfaction. In addition, a
single system can now run more applications, which can drive
utilization even higher and result in infrastructure cost savings.
The improved performance with POWER7+ also enables
clients to get more processing power with fewer processors,
resulting in lower per-core software licensing costs.
Workload optimization
New with POWER7+ is a hardware feature called Dynamic
Platform Optimizer. This feature monitors processor and
memory affinity and adjusts workload placement to optimize
performance for virtualized consolidated environments. All
operating systems are supported. Dynamic Platform Optimizer
is designed to simplify your operation and help you get the
most from your system.
POWER7+ processors also feature Intelligent Threads technol-
ogy, which enables workload optimization by dynamically
switching between threading modes. Each application can be
run in the most suitable threading mode; either single thread
per core, simultaneous multithread (SMT) with two threads per
core, or SMT with four threads per core. As a result, applica-
tions can run at their peak performance and systems can
increase their workload capacity.
Available with all POWER7 processors is the ability of the pro-
cessor to run at a higher frequency if environmental conditions
permit, resulting in increased performance; or alternatively run
at a lower frequency if user settings permit, resulting in greater
energy efficiency. This feature enables customization by parti-
tion for maximum performance, maximum energy savings or a
mixture of both.

Exceptional PowerVM virtualization
capability
PowerVM is the family of technologies, capabilities and
offerings that deliver industry-leading virtualization on
IBM POWER processor-based systems. On the Power 770,
PowerVM includes base components provided with IBM Power
Systems firmware, which includes logical partitioning (LPAR)
technologies. PowerVM allows any individual LPAR to access
the maximum amount of memory and CPU cores that are
available on the server. In addition, optional components in
PowerVM Editions are designed to provide advanced virtualiza-
tion technologies resulting in efficiencies in resource utilization
and cost savings. These are managed through use of a hardware
management console (HMC) or through IBM Systems
Director software with the VMControl virtualization
management plug-in.
PowerVM Standard Edition includes Micro-Partitioning® and
Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) capabilities, which are designed to
allow businesses to increase system utilization, while helping to
ensure applications continue to get the resources they need.
VIOS allows for the sharing of disk and optical devices as well
as communications and Fibre Channel adapters to help drive
down complexity and systems/administrative expenses. Also
included is support for Multiple Shared Processor Pools, which
allows for automatic nondisruptive balancing of processing
power between partitions assigned to the shared pools, and
Shared Dedicated Capacity, which helps optimize use of
processor cycles.
PowerVM Enterprise Edition includes all the features of
Standard Edition plus Live Partition Mobility1 (LPM) and
PowerVM Active Memory Sharing.2 LPM allows a partition
to be relocated from one server to another with virtually no
impact to the applications running inside the partition. LPM is
designed to enable servers to work together to help optimize
system utilization and energy savings, improve application
availability, balance critical workloads across multiple systems
and respond to ever-changing business demands. PowerVM
Active Memory Sharing is an advanced memory virtualization
technology that intelligently flows memory from one partition
to another for increased utilization and flexibility of memory
usage. With this memory virtualization enhancement IBM i,
AIX, and Linux partitions can share a pool of memory and have
PowerVM automatically allocate the memory based on the
workload demands of each partition.
Active Memory Expansion
Active Memory Expansion (AME), new with POWER7,
allowed the effective memory capacity of the system to be much
larger than the true physical memory. POWER7+ imbeds an
accelerator onto the processor chip to provide improvement in
AME performance and greater processor efficiency. Innovative
compression/decompression of memory content can allow
memory expansion up to 100 percent. This can allow a parti-
tion to do significantly more work with the same physical
amount of memory.
System Networking
IBM System Networking solutions connect servers and storage
with a high-speed and intelligent network fabric that is smart,
fast and easy to manage. IBM System Networking offers low
latency, low power and low cost top of rack, as well as innova-
tive network virtualization and management solutions. These
solutions are designed to power optimized workloads, such as
public and private clouds, analytics, financial services and other
high performance computing applications.
Security
Security and compliance are intrinsic to today’s business pro-
cesses, development and daily operations and should be factored
in to the initial design of any IT or critical infrastructure solu-
tion, not bolted on after the fact. By building security and com-
pliance into the overall design of a system, an application or a
cloud delivery model, businesses are better able to create agile
solutions that reduce risk while cost-effectively addressing audit
requirements. POWER7+ systems architecture has security
designed into each layer of the stack from the hardware to the
firmware and through the systems software. PowerSC a key
security and compliance offering is integrated with this stack to
lower the cost of maintaining compliance and security.

Mainframe-inspired availability features
Leading the world-class RAS capabilities provided for the
Power 770 is Active Memory Mirroring for Hypervisor,
which is designed to prevent a system outage in the event of an
uncorrectable error in memory being used by the system hyper-
visor. Also available are a sophisticated service processor with a
redundant service processor and a redundant clock for systems
larger than one building block. Standard features for all Power
770 systems include many hot-plug, hot-swappable, redundant
components; Chipkill memory with additional DRAM sparing;
First Failure Data Capture mechanisms; and dynamic dealloca-
tion of system components. These capabilities help to increase
system availability and allow more work to be processed with
less operational disruption. For enhanced server availability,
the Power 770 can be clustered with IBM PowerHA®
SystemMirror for disaster recovery (DR).
Processor Instruction Retry and Alternate Processor Recovery
are designed to enhance application availability and improve
the quality of the service provided. Both technologies come
standard on the Power 770 and provide for the continuous
monitoring of processor status with the capability to restart a
processor if certain errors are detected. If required, workloads
can be redirected to alternate processors, all without disruption
to application execution.
With proper planning and configuration, Hot-node Repair is
designed to enable repair and replacement of components by
deactivating a node with reduced impact to the system opera-
tion. When the repair is complete, the module can be brought
back online and the new resources made immediately available
for assignment to new or existing application environments.
This capability can also be used to add additional memory with-
out bringing the system down. Enabled for all nodes within the
system this unique capability helps define what it means to be
an IBM enterprise class system.
Nondisruptive growth options
IBM’s modular design allows clients to start with what they
need and grow by adding additional building blocks, all with
minimal disruption to the base system. This is accomplished via
a new innovative feature for the Power 770 referred to as
Hot-node Add, just one part of the overall availability story
with IBM Power systems.
As enhanced growth options, several types of Capacity on
Demand (CoD) are optionally available. Clients can install
processors or memory and activate them on a 30-day trial
(Trial CoD), a day-to-day basis (Elastic CoD) or permanently
(Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD). Additionally, Utility
CoD allows clients to install processors and have them auto-
matically activated as needed on a minute-to-minute basis.
Clients may start small and grow with systems designed for
continuous application availability.
Frugal EnergyScale technology
As the price of energy increases and capacity limits become
more common, optimization of available power has become
increasingly vital. Consolidating onto IBM Power Systems
using PowerVM virtualization technologies provides you the
best way to maximize your service to clients while minimizing
your energy consumption. The Power 770 offers over five times
the capacity of standard POWER6 570 systems while consum-
ing only 20 percent more energy.4 Consolidating older systems,
especially those from other vendors, provide an even more
dramatic reduction in energy usage.
IBM’s PowerVM Editions can help simplify and optimize your
IT infrastructure by reducing energy and infrastructure costs.
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager software
exploits POWER7+ EnergyScale technology by monitoring
power/thermal utilization and actively adjusting system opera-
tions through energy management features for improved system
utilization and energy efficiency. The entire hardware and soft-
ware environment is designed to work in concert to provide you
total operational control of your energy policy.
Broad business application support
The Power 770 is designed to give clients the flexibility to run
the AIX, IBM i and Linux operating systems concurrently. The
