2X max memoryUp to 2 TB

Rules:a) No Mixing of DIMMs sizes. ( i.e when order 128GB DIMM, no other size ( 64GB, 32GB, 16GB ) can

be mixed with )b) Only qty 8 or qty 16 DIMMs ( no other qty accepted, so when order 128GB DIMM, customer can

either order them by quantity of 8 = 1TB or quantity of 16=2TB )c) No MES Upgrade provided for installed systems. d) Only supported on Models S824, no other Scale-out servers.

IBM Solution for Flash Optimized NoSQL - Power Systems Edition Significant Cost Savings for In-Memory NoSQL Data Stores

The Market: Explosive growth of new mobile, social apps requiring lightening fast response at high volume

Enabled by in-memory NoSQL, Key Value Stores like Redis

Ordered (key, value) pairs provide type of in-memory, lightening fast distributed hash table

Plays an important role in many large websites

GitHub, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter & more…

The Issue: x86 memory limited by max RAM

• Scale-out x86 servers limited memory size

• Results in costly, complex infrastructure

analysis has found it not supportable. • Restriction due to a combination of factors. Labels with Power

ratings and certifications are impacted since tower and rack use different power supplies.


Scale-out Servers & PCIe Gen3 I/O Drawer SOD

Oct 2014 SOD

IBM plans to extend the support of PCIe Gen3 I/O drawers to the POWER8 scale-out servers which have 6 or more cores. This drawer is planned to be attached via two x16 PCIe slots and will require an update to the currently available firmware.
