    • IBM 8284 22A S822 AIX Power 8 Servers

    IBM 8284 22A S822 AIX Power 8 Systems

    The IBM 8284-22A (Power System S822) is a 2U rack-mounted scale-out server powered by POWER8 processors. This two-socket system delivers high performance, scalability, and enhanced RAS for demanding commercial workloads on AIX, IBM i (virtualized), and Linux environments. It supports greater performance per core/socket, new I/O capabilities, higher internal storage and PCIe capacities, CAPI accelerator support, and hot-plug PCIe. Ideal for business transaction processing, social/mobile infrastructure, and consolidated enterprise applications.

    Key Features

    • Dual-socket POWER8 processor support for flexible core scaling.
    • High performance per core and socket with POWER8 technology.
    • Support for Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) accelerators.
    • Enhanced reliability, availability, serviceability (RAS) including hot-plug PCIe.
    • Higher internal storage and PCIe capacities for demanding I/O.
    • PowerVM virtualization for efficient partitioning.
    • Multiple storage backplane options (SFF bays, split backplane, or SSD cage with Easy Tier).
    • Integrated RAID support with optional write cache.

    Technical Specifications

    • Form Factor: 2U rack-mounted (19-inch rack).
    • Processors: POWER8 modules (one or two sockets; all cores active):
      • 6-core 3.89 GHz (scalable to 12 cores).
      • 8-core 4.15 GHz (scalable to 16 cores).
      • 10-core 3.42 GHz (scalable to 20 cores).
    • Cores: Up to 20 activated cores total.
    • Memory: Up to 1 TB DDR3 (16 CDIMM slots; supports 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB modules at 1600 MHz).
    • Storage: Up to 12 SFF-3 SAS/SATA HDD/SSD bays (standard backplane); optional split backplane (two sets of 6 bays) or 8 SFF + 6 1.8-inch SSD cage with Easy Tier.
      • Internal max capacity varies (e.g., high-performance SAS/SSD support).
    • PCIe Slots: Higher PCIe Gen3 capacities; hot-plug capable.
    • Connectivity: Standard 2-port 10/1 GbE BaseT RJ45 adapter; optional high-speed adapters.
    • Power/Cooling: Redundant hot-swap supplies and fans.
    • Other: Supports Active Memory Expansion; EnergyScale for power management.

    Compatibility

    • Operating Systems: AIX, IBM i (virtualized LPARs max 4 cores each, requires VIOS), Linux.
    • Virtualization: PowerVM Enterprise Edition; supports multiple partitions.
    • Expansion: Optional external I/O drawers and disk expansion.
    • Environments: Suited for enterprise transaction processing, social/mobile infrastructure, and consolidated workloads.
    • Legacy POWER8 system; no intermixing with incompatible newer generations.

    This system comes with a 60-day warranty from Data Tech Computer.
