    • IBM 8202 E4D 720 iSeries Power 7+ Servers

    IBM 8202 E4D 720 iSeries Power 7+ Systems

    The IBM Power 720 Express (8202-E4D) is a reliable 4U rack-mount or tower-convertible server from the POWER7+ generation, optimized for IBM i workloads in small to medium business environments. This single-socket system supports 4-core, 6-core, or 8-core POWER7+ processor configurations (feature codes EPCK 4-core, EPCL 6-core, EPCM 8-core typical at 3.6 GHz), delivering strong CPW performance for enterprise applications, light virtualization, and departmental tasks. Typical configurations include 32 GB DDR3 memory (scalable up to 512 GB), 1.132 TB 15K RPM SAS DASD with RAID support, 2-port 10/1 GbE BaseT RJ45 Ethernet adapter, DVD-RAM drive, and all necessary components for rack or tower deployment. The server runs natively on IBM i (no VIOS required in lower-tier configs), supports PowerVM virtualization (limited by tier), and is ideal for cost-effective IBM i hosting or mixed AIX/Linux workloads.

    Key Features

    • Processor: 4-core (EPCK), 6-core (EPCL), or 8-core (EPCM) POWER7+ at 3.6 GHz (single socket).
    • Performance: Up to ~56,300 CPW (8-core EPCM P10 tier; 4-core ~28,400 CPW, 6-core ~42,400 CPW; interactive capacity varies by config).
    • Memory: 32 GB DDR3 base (scalable to 512 GB with 16 DIMM slots at 1066 MHz).
    • Storage: 1.132 TB 15K RPM SAS DASD (e.g., 4 × 300 GB SFF-3) with RAID-5/6/10 support.
    • Connectivity: 2-port 10/1 GbE BaseT RJ45 Ethernet adapter.
    • Media: DVD-RAM drive included.
    • Form Factor: 4U rack-mount (tower convertible with optional kit).
    • Software: Native IBM i support (7.1–7.5); PowerVM virtualization available.
    • Reliability: Redundant hot-swap power/cooling options, EnergyScale efficiency.

    This 4U configuration provides excellent balance of performance and expandability for IBM i environments, with ample memory bandwidth, I/O slots, and core scaling for moderate to intensive workloads. It supports extensive expansions in memory, storage, and PCIe to accommodate growth.

    Compatibilities

    The IBM Power 720 8202-E4D is compatible with:

    • IBM i operating system (7.1–7.5; native execution).
    • PowerVM for virtualization and logical partitioning (limited in lower tiers).
    • IBM Power Systems storage and peripherals via SAS/SFF-3 bays and PCIe Gen2/Gen3.
    • Ethernet networks and standard adapters for connectivity.
    • Backward compatibility with IBM i applications and data from prior Power generations.
    • Enterprise workloads in small to medium setups, with support for data-intensive tasks on AIX/Linux as well.

    Depend on this versatile POWER7+ server for efficient, scalable IBM i performance in rack or tower environments with proven enterprise reliability.
