"the new OpenPOWER- bare metal servers based, it is easy for users to enjoy one of the most powerful and open industry-server architectures," said Sonny Fulkerson, CIO at SoftLayer . based OpenPower- "the offer enables SoftLayer to provide a higher level of performance, predictability and reliability not always possible in virtualized cloud environments."
POWER-based systems
servers licensable lever POWER processor technology and feature innovations resulting from IBM open collaboration between members of the OpenPower Foundation, now totaling over 100 leaders technology worldwide.
to develop the SoftLayer bare metal server , IBM SoftLayer and worked closely with other members of the OpenPower Foundation TYAN, supplier advanced platforms for server / workstation, and Mellanox Technologies, a supplier of InfiniBand and Ethernet solutions.
Built on open technology standards beginning at the chip level, the new bare metal servers are designed to help a wide range of companies interested in customized hybrid construction solutions private and public cloud based on open technology.
new OpenPower bare metal servers will join the stable growth of the POWER-based systems SoftLayer. The company first deployed in 2014 Power Systems to support the portfolio IBM Watson cloud . Initially, the new servers will be available in the center of Dallas SoftLayer cloud, with planned expansion worldwide.
