Escala PL 1660R - Bull

Modular and scalable systems for businessflexibility and IT efficiencyEscala PL 1660RAdvanced POWER6 processor cores for enhanced performance andreliability, with building block architecture which delivers flexiblescalability and modular growth, advanced virtualisation featuresfacilitate highly efficient systems utilisation and enhancedreliability, availability and serviceability features enable improvedapplication availability.Outstanding Price/PerformanceThe POWER6 processor-based Escala 1660Rmid-range server delivers outstandingprice/performance, mainframe-inspiredreliability and availability features,flexible capacity upgrades andinnovative virtualisation technologies.This powerful 19-inch rack-mount system,which can handle up to 16 POWER6 cores,can be used for database and applicationserving, as well as server consolidation.Modularity and ScalabilityThe modular PL1660R is designed tocontinue the tradition of itspredecessor, the POWER5+ processor-basedPL1650R server, for resourceoptimization, secure and dependableperformance and the flexibility tochange with business needs.POWER6 Advanced TechnologyEscala PL1660R is the first serverdesigned with POWER6 processors,resulting in performance and price/performance advantages while ushering ina new era in the virtualisation andavailability of AIX® and Linux® datacenters.POWER6 processors can run 64-bitapplications, while concurrentlysupporting 32-bit applications to enhanceflexibility. They featuresimultaneous multi-threading, allowingtwo application ‘threads’ to be run atthe sametime, which allows completion of moretasks in any given period of time.POWER6 EnhancementsWith the introduction of POWER6 processorbasedtechnology, exciting advances inperformance, RAS and virtualization bringnew perspectives to the world of ITcompute efficiency. A new IntegratedVirtual Ethernet adapter comes standardwith every system, paving the way toeasier virtualization of high-speedEthernet connections.Future DirectionsIt is anticipated that the virtualizationwill be enhanced with Partition Mobilityto be offered as part of the optionallyavailable Advanced POWER Virtualization(APV) feature. This function isdesigned to move running partitions fromone POWER6 server to another with nodowntime.Essential servicesFor a quick and effective starting ofyour new Escala servers, Bull accompaniesyou from the implementation step up tothe full support and maintenance withcommitment on high availability ratiosfor your systems hosting your missioncritical activities. Our deep know-how inconsolidation, virtualisation andmanagement of performance will insure youto optimize the effectiveness and thecontinuous availability of yourapplications.PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONwww.bull.com
