This IBM® Redpaper™ publication is a comprehensive guide covering the IBM Power 750 and Power 755 server supporting AIX, IBM i, and Linux operating systems. The goal of this paper is to introduce the major innovative Power 750 and 755 offerings and their prominent functions, including the following.

The POWER7 processor available at frequencies of 3.0 GHz, 3.3 GHz, and 3.55 GHz
The specialized POWER7 Level 3 cache that provides greater bandwidth, capacity, and reliability
The 1 Gb or 10 Gb Integrated Virtual Ethernet adapter, included with each server configuration, provides native hardware virtualization
PowerVM™ virtualization including PowerVM Live Partition Mobility and PowerVM Active Memory Sharing.
EnergyScale™ technology that provides features such as power trending, power-saving, capping of power, and thermal measurement.

This Redpaper expands the current set of Power Systems documentation by providing a desktop reference that offers a detailed technical description of the 550 system.

This Redpaper does not replace the latest marketing materials, tools It is intended as an additional source of information that, together with existing sources, may be used to enhance your knowledge of IBM server solutions.
