The IBM pSeries 690 (7040-681) is a product of IBM's 64-bit, symmetric multiprocessing UNIX (SMP) servers. It gives you the power you need to consolidate workloads within a single, powerful, UNIX system. The large SMP server no longer functions merely as a server, but rather as a self- contained "IT infrastructure in a box." The IBM 7040 Model 681 Central Electronics Complex pSeries 690 provides outstanding 64-bit compute performance for the UNIX environment. It features SOI (silicon on insulator) copper chip technology, mainframe inspired logical partitioning (LPAR) and self-managing capabilities.
