Linux on Power Systems combines the unparalleled performance
of Power with the capabilities and cost effectiveness of Linux.
IBM Power Systems are
the ultimate systems for today’s
compute-intensive workloads,
delivering:
• Dynamic efficiency, with intelligent,
workload-based resource allocation
• Business analytics—optimized
for big data and compute-intensive
applications
• Enhanced compliance through
automated, policy-based security
Linux is a robust and uniquely
extensible operating system
built on open source innovation,
delivering:
• Significant cost savings
• Uncompromising stability & security
• Industry-leading flexibility and
performance
• Rich opportunities for innovation and
enabling of new workloads
Linux on Power Systems
integrates these two powerful
technologies to deliver the
highest levels of:
• Efficiency
• Availability
• Security
• Reliability
• Scalability
• Cost savings

Why PowerLinux for Java & WebSphere Applications
- Fewer servers support same # workloads, clients do more for less at comparable TCA
IBM Linux Value-Add
IBM Installation Toolkit
SDK for PowerLinux
Leadership workload performance
• 36% better Java performance than best 4-socket HP Sandy Bridge
• 39% better Java performance than best 40-core Westmere EX
Vastly superior virtualized workload throughput
