IBM Power7 iSeries Servers

The IBM iSeries Power7 Servers subcategory on DataTechComputer.com (specifically focusing on 8202-E4C and 8202-E4B models) offers refurbished and custom-configured IBM Power 720 Express systems from the POWER7 generation 1 and 2, optimized for IBM i workloads in small to medium business environments. These 4U rack-mount or tower-convertible servers deliver solid midrange performance for enterprise applications, light virtualization (PowerVM), databases, ERP, and departmental tasks. Both models are single-socket designs with POWER7 processors, but differ in core counts, clock speeds, and target tiers.
