All System p servers can utilize standard virtualization functions or logical partitioning technology by using either the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM). Logical partitions (LPARs) allow clients to run separate workloads in different partitions on the same server, potentially lowering costs and improving energy efficiency. Partitions on POWER servers are designed to be shielded from each other to provide a high level of data security and increased application availability. Dynamic LPAR allows clients to dynamically allocate many system resources to application partitions without rebooting, simplifying overall systems administration and workload balancing, and enhancing availability. What's new PowerVM Express Edition (PowerVM Express) is offered exclusively on the System p 550 and System p 520 Express servers and is designed for users looking for an introduction to more advanced virtualization features at a highly affordable price. With PowerVM Express, users can create up to three partitions on the server, leverage virtualized disk and optical devices, and even try out the IBM United States Announcement IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 1
