IBM Power8 L Series Comparison
If the speed of your server is number one on your wishlist, then Power8 is for you.
Each core of the Power8 chip can handle eight hardware threads at the same time. So, the 12-core chip can run 96 threads simultaneously.
That will keep your pipeline full, and provide massive performance gains to number-crunching tasks like database servers, big data and analytics.
Data, data and more data is the way it’s going. We all know it.
IBM Power8 servers can help you corral it, store it, secure it and then retrieve it when you need it.
The chart below compares the S812, S814, S822 and S824 servers.
Generally, they break down like this:
- IBM Power S824: For analytics applications and small to mid-size database (generally 105 or less to 107 records).
- IBM Power S822: Geared for combining multiple applications and workloads in virtual machines.
- IBM Power S814: Highly secure and scalable and provides a stable database and middleware platform for efficient deployment of business processing and mission critical applications.
- IBM Power S812L: Optimized for Linux environments that run multiple applications in virtual machines.
- IBM Power S822L: Same as above, plus and entry into big data analytics, open infrastructure.
- IBM Power S824L: Supports the unique requirements of dual NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) accelerators and offers dramatic accelerations of specific technical computing and big data and Java tasks.
