This IBM® RedpaperTM publication is a comprehensive guide covering the IBM Power 720 and Power 740 servers supporting AIX®, IBM i, and Linux® operating systems. The goal of this paper is to introduce the major innovative Power 720 and 740 offerings and their prominent functions, including these:


  • The POWER7TM processor available at frequencies of 3.0 GHz, 3.55 GHz, and 3.7 GHz
  • The specialized POWER7 Level 3 cache that provides greater bandwidth, capacity, and reliability
  • The 1 Gb or 10 Gb Integrated Virtual Ethernet adapter, included with each server configuration, and providing native hardware virtualization
  • The latest PowerVMTM virtualization including PowerVM Live Partition Mobility and PowerVM Active MemoryTM Sharing.
  • Active Memory Expansion that provides more usable memory than what is physically installed on the system
  • EnergyScaleTM technology that provides features such as power trending, power-saving, capping of power, and thermal measurement.
