The OpenPower 710 is based on IBM's 64-bit POWER 5 processor and is capable of up to 32GB of memory and 587.2GB of internal storage. IBM OpenServers are tuned for top performance with Linux. The Linux kernel leverages POWER5 features like simultaneous multi-threading and takes advantage of the inherent high-performance characteristics like improved memory access, instruction/data cache coherency, synchronization and faster data lock acquisitions. Further information on the OpenPower 710 can be found at: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/openpower/hardware/710.html

In addition to the OpenPower 710 IBM will demonstrate their eServer i5/520 line of systems. The i5/520 is the perfect consolidation platform as it can run Power Linux, Intel Linux, AIX, i5/OS (OS/400), and Windows all simultaneously.
