Preface

This IBM® Redpaper is a comprehensive guide describing the IBM Power 595 (9119-FHA)
enterprise-class IBM Power Systems server. The goal of this paper is to introduce several
technical aspects of this innovative server. The major hardware offerings and prominent
functions include:

The POWER6™ processor available at frequencies of 4.2 and 5.0 GHz

Specialized POWER6 DDR2 memory that provides improved bandwidth, capacity, and
reliability

Support for AIX®, IBM i, and Linux® for Power operating systems.

EnergyScale™ technology that provides features such as power trending, power-saving,
thermal measurement, and processor napping.

PowerVM™ virtualization

Mainframe levels of continuous availability.

This Redpaper is intended for professionals who want to acquire a better understanding of
Power Systems products, including:

Clients

Sales and marketing professionals

Technical support professionals

IBM Business Partners

Independent software vendors

This Redpaper expands the current set of IBM Power Systems documentation by providing a
desktop reference that offers a detailed technical description of the 595 system.

This Redpaper does not replace the latest marketing materials, tools, and other IBM
publications available, for example, at the IBM Systems Hardware Information Center

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/index.jsp

. It is intended as

an additional source of information that, together with existing sources, can be used to
enhance your knowledge of IBM server solutions.
