IBM Unveils zEnterprise, New Systems Architecture Ushers in Era of Smarter Data Centers

際商業機器公司(International Business Machines Corp., IBM)公佈了有關其新的先進主機晶片的細節。該公司稱﹐新晶片能夠以創紀錄的速度處理信息。

該公司表示﹐受企業管理大量數據和交易的需求驅使﹐公司已斥資超過15億美元研發這一新技術。該公司援引Berg Insight數據稱﹐到2015年﹐僅移動銀行和相關服務的用戶數量就將從去年的5,500萬戶增至8.94億戶。

據該公司稱﹐新的微處理器系統名為zEnterprise 196﹐包括96塊世界上最快的晶片﹐能夠每秒執行超過500億次指令。

IBM Unveils zEnterprise, New Systems Architecture Ushers in Era of Smarter Data Centers


IBM today announced the zEnterprise mainframe server and a new systems design that allows workloads on mainframe, POWER7 and System x servers to share resources and be managed as a single, virtualized system. The new mainframe is also the most powerful and energy-efficient mainframe ever.

The new systems design combines IBM's new zEnterprise mainframe server with new technology--the IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension and the IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager--that enable it to manage workloads running across System z, and select POWER7 and System x servers. The new technology is the result of an investment of more than $1.5 billion in IBM research and development as well as more than three years of collaboration with some of IBM's top clients around the world.
