    • IBM 8205 E6D 740 iSeries Power 7+ Servers

    IBM 8205 E6D 740 iSeries Power7+ Systems

    The IBM 8205-E6D (Power 740 Express) is a 4U rack-mounted (or tower-capable) server powered by POWER7+ processors, designed for small to midsized businesses running IBM i workloads. It offers proven reliability, security, and integration for core business applications on a single, scalable system. This model simplifies IT environments, improves responsiveness, productivity, and data security while reducing spending and staffing needs. It supports IBM i, AIX, and Linux, with PowerVM virtualization for efficient partitioning and resource management.

    Key Features

    • POWER7+ processor technology for high performance and energy efficiency.
    • Scalable core activation (up to 16 cores total) for flexible growth.
    • Large memory capacity with DDR3 DIMMs for demanding applications.
    • Integrated SAS controller with RAID support (0, 1, 10; optional RAID 5/6).
    • Hot-swap storage bays and PCIe slots for easy maintenance and expansion.
    • Supports multiple IBM i partitions (virtualized, max 4 cores each) alongside AIX/Linux workloads.
    • Proven IBM i integration simplifies management and enhances security.
    • Capacity Upgrade on Demand for cores and optional features.
