IBM Power5+ 1.9Ghz iSeries Servers

The IBM iSeries Power5+ Servers subcategory on DataTechComputer.com features a selection of refurbished and custom-configured IBM Power Systems from the POWER5+ generation, optimized for IBM i workloads in small to medium business environments. These 4U rack-mount or tower-convertible servers deliver dependable midrange performance for enterprise applications, light virtualization (PowerVM), databases, ERP, and departmental tasks. POWER5+ processors feature dual-core modules with improved clock speeds and larger L2/L3 cache over POWER5, plus hardware virtualization support. All systems are tested, include IBM i entitlement options (where applicable), and come with a 60-day warranty.
