  2. Agenda Power 795 enhanced New memory features & I/O enhancements Power 795/780/770 CoD ease-of-ordering features Power 770/780 additional I/O options 16Gb Fibre Channel 10Gb Ethernet – 2-port NIC & FCoE #EDR1 EXP30 Ultra SSD I/O Drawer COMING SOON - High Performance Option with DS8800 PowerLinux low-latency, “accelerated” 10Gb Ethernet adapter Solarflare’sOpenOnload Low Latency New Power 710 with 1-year warranty option IBM i I/O SAN configuration enhancements Power 750/760 IMFC enhanced Statement of Direction for DAT160 tape Flex System #EC24 CN4058 8-port 10Gb Mez card update Bonus topics PureSystems Update

  3. Power 795 New Memory Big price performance enhancements Same capacity points as with existing 2GB DRAM DIMM memory features Newer 4GB DRAM technology in the DIMMs save electricity & cooling Same pricing as POWER7+ 780 memory #EM40, EM41, EM42, EM44 Price / GB 45-85% lower for DIMMs 27% lower for activations Price statements based on IBM USA suggested list prices as of May 2013 on a Power 795 and are subject to change without notice; Reseller prices may vary.

  4. Power 795: New Memory Price/Performance New DIMMs provide significant memory price reduction and activation price reduction (new features built with 4Gb DRAM vs 2Gb DRAM technology) 72% less 85% less 85% less 45% less 27% less + New memory uses much less electricity/cooling than current memory Memory features and pricing now consistent with POWER7+ 770/780 7.6 Firmware is required Prices shown are IBM USA suggested list prices as of May 2013 on a Power 795 and are subject to change without notice; Reseller prices may vary.

  5. Power 795: New Memory Price/Performance Easier to buy “standby” memory and Elastic (On/Off) memory For example … using the 0/128 GB memory features as a comparison: Was $31,824 to buy 128GB memory + 64GB activations ---- 64GB inactive Now $14,040 to buy 128GB memory + 64GB activations ---- 64GB inactive Around a 50% reduction !!! Pie charts below show price of 0/128 GB memory 100% activated April 2013 $48,208 for 128GB Fully activated June 2013 $25,880 for 128GB Fully activated 795 memory features and pricing now consistent with POWER7+ 770/780 Note: 7.6 Firmware is required Prices shown are IBM USA suggested list prices as of May 2013 on a Power 795 and are subject to change without notice; Reseller prices may vary.

  6. Memory Config Rules SAME as previous memory features: Same minimums per server or per book or per socket/SCM Same minimum activation rules Same maximums per server or per book Same considerations mixing of different size memory features Can mix new (#EM4x 4Gb technology) & old (#56xx 2Gb technology) Can mix on the same server (assuming 7.6 firmware) Can mix on the same processor book BUT can NOT mix on the same socket / SCM Can continue to buy old memory features even if on Firmware 7.6 But probably a poor economic/environmental decision Also announcing equivalent bulk memory features #EMB1, EMB2, EMB3, EMB4 (only used when upgrading from POWER6 595 to Power 795 when POWER6 595 has bulk memory features) D D R 3 D D R 3 D D R 3 D D R 3 D D R 3 D D R 3 D D R 3 D D R 3 D D R 3 D D R 3

  7. Power 795 Memory Details 32 DDR3 DIMM slots per processor book (8 memory feat codes) DIMMS: 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB Plugged in “octants” of DIMMs. 1 feature code = 4 identical DIMMs. So always plug two feat codes of memory at a time CAN mix pairs of different size DIMM features on same processor book Per processor book: minimum 2 quad DIMMs (two of the same memory features) Per system: minimum of 50% of memory capacity activated or minimum of 32GB memory activated (which ever is larger)

  8. Power 795 & PCIe Gen2 Function • Plug GX++ PCIe adapter directly into GX++ slot on the processor card • No cabling except optical fiber for downstream I/O switch • Max 3 GX++ PCIe adapters per per processor book • Can be in any of the 4 GX slots • Using a GX++ PCIe adapter means an I/O drawer can not be placed in that GX slot. Can have one or the other. OK to mix. • No change to minimum of one #5803 I/O drawer per 795

  9. Power 795 PCIe Gen2 Enhancements PCIe Gen2 GX++ I/O enhancements Expanding support for adapters introduced Oct 2012 IBM i support of the FCoE adapter (#EN22) starting 26 July 2013 (#EN23 already supported by IBM i) RHEL 6.4 support of the FCoE and FC adapters (#EN22 and #EN23) now available #EN22 #EN23

  10. PCIe Gen2 for Power 795 Two PCIe Gen2 GX++ adapters 16 Gb Fibre Channel #EN23 10 Gb FCoE/CNA #EN22 2-ports of high performance capability Access to full bandwidth of GX++ bus (up to 20 GB/s peak) Slightly lower latency than adapter in #5803/5873 I/O Drawer, but probably not noticeable for most client applications Innovative, highly compact packaging Combines GX adapter + GX cables + PCIe I/O drawer + PCIe adapter into just one new 2-port GX adapter Can save money, space, energy/cooling, maintenance Nov GA 2012:

  32. Leveraging Solarflare Adapters • Linux only environments • Can be implemented without application code changes assuming standard POSIX socket APIs have been implemented • See Solarflare additional information using “SFN6122F” and “OpenOnload” and “SFN5162F” • Two Solarflare white papers of high interest: • For SFN5162F: http://www.solarflare.com/Content/userfiles/documents/ Solarflare_Performant_Adapter_Solutions_Brief.pdf • For SFN6122F: http://www.solarflare.com/Content/UserFiles/Documents/ Solarflare_10GbE_OpenOnload_Low-Latency.pdf #EL39 PCIe2 LP 2-port 10GbE SFN6122F Adapter. This adapter supports OpenOnload #EL3A PCIe2 LP 2-port 10GbE SFN5162FAdapter

  33. Additional Solarflare Adapter Information Solarflare's SFN6122F and SFN5162F 10Gb Ethernet server adapters can enable high throughput, low latency and high CPU efficiency, improving the performance and efficiency of network communications, network-attached storage and remote file system access. Solarflare's unique hardware-accelerated virtualized NIC (vNIC) architecture can provide high scalability, high throughput, and low latency benefits to a wide range of network-intensive applications. Each vNIC provides a dedicated channel between the network adapter and host software, allowing network I/O processing to be distributed efficiently over multiple CPU cores. This can reduce or eliminate processing bottlenecks and can dramatically improve I/O performance on busy networks. Solarflare SFN6122F 10Gb Ethernet adapters support the OpenOnload application acceleration middleware which can provide ultra-low latency, very high throughput, and reduced latency jitter even as message loads increase. SFN6122F with OpenOnload bypasses the network stack in the operating system kernel by dedicating a vNIC to each accelerated application, reducing the processing associated with networking and improving core scaling. SFN6122F application acceleration is based on industry standard APIs and protocols, so, for applications written to standard POSIX socket APIs, 10 Gb Ethernet accelerated performance can be achieved without modifications to applications, proprietary protocols, or specialized networks.
