IBM announced new Linux servers that perform data analysis faster workloads and less expensive than a comparable x86 server. This new line "LC" servers infuse technology members of the OpenPower Foundation and are part of the IBM Power Systems server portfolio.
The new servers LC Power Systems have been designed on the basis of technology and development efforts made by the OpenPower Foundation partners - including Canonical, Mellanox, NVIDIA, Tyan and Wistron. The OpenPower Foundation, an organization with over 150 members worldwide, develops solutions on top of the open architecture of the IBM POWER processor. This open and collaborative model would allow rapid innovation currently available using the other, closed innovation methods.
The LC servers bring high performance of POWER processors to the wide community Linux, especially Data Analysis cloud and high performance computing (HPC) workloads.
"Customers need of cognitive systems that are reliable, cost-effective and able to ingest and make sense of incredible amounts of structured and unstructured data," said Doug Balog, general manager of IBM Power systems . "Kissing an open innovation model has allowed us to build systems that help translate mountains of data into business insight to action. Working with partners in the OpenPower Foundation, our new range of servers offers customers the performance they need to analyze and act on data in real time. "
Allegiant Air, a low cost airline American, is among the clients running Linux on Power Systems to analyze the data. the airline is able to immediately analyze customer behavior on their website , looking for trends such as price sensitivity to quickly adjust and provide on-site promotional marketing offers to help convert online browsing of a potential customer into a purchase.
"All companies are facing increasing amounts of data," said Brian O'Neil, director of data architecture, Allegiant Travel . "It's how you look at - and what you do with. - The results allowing you to take the lead party Pull Linux on IBM Power Systems, we were able to immediately glean valuable insights from a number of sources data, allowing us to take action more quickly and effectively than ever before. "
Three choices of Linux servers
Generally available more later this year, the new IBM Power Systems line of LC servers will be offered in three different variants; the S812LC Power Systems, Power Systems S822LC for S822LC Power Systems and commercial informatics for high-performance computing.
The S812LC system is a 1-socket 2U , equipped with up to 10 cores, 1TB of memory, the memory bandwidth 115GB / s, and up to 14 hard drives. The S812LC is a Linux system optimized for workloads that are memory and rich storage as Spark and Hadoop to give an immediate overview with an "incredible" efficiency.
The 2-socket 2U Power Systems S822LC for commercial and high performance computing come from the same computer configured with up to 20 cores, 1TB of memory and bandwidth memory 230GB / sec. The S822LC for high performance computing also comes with two accelerators NVIDIA Tesla GPUs integrated K80, the flagship offering of the NVIDIA Tesla Accelerated Computing Platform.
