Only the most current and more popular features are described in this section of the Web site. For options not seen, please request a custom quote. Even though IBM still supports and may still sell many earlier generation options which are not shown, they are of interest primarily to existing customers who may not have yet moved to i5/OS Version 5 Release 3.
IBM has also announced plans to expand the model 570 offering beyond a 4-way server later in 2004. By attaching up to four processor enclosures together over a flexible processor fabric, the model 570 can become as large as a 16-way server. This building block approach provides massive scalability and 5/8-way, 9/12-way, and 13/16-way offerings are planned. |
