    IBM Power5 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 entry-to-midrange performance for enterprise applications, light virtualization (PowerVM), databases, ERP, and departmental tasks. POWER5 processors feature dual-core modules with integrated memory controllers and hardware virtualization support. All systems are tested, include IBM i entitlement options (where applicable), and come with a 60-day warranty.
