IBM Power 8 (S814)

• Highly secure architecture that provides a stable database and middleware platform for efficient deployment of business processing applications
• Ideal for midsized business customers consolidating UNIX, IBM i, and Linux workloads
• Ability to gain faster insights with the POWER8 processor and smart acceleration enabled by Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) technologies
• Ability to reduce energy consumption by utilizing advanced energy control

The IBM Power S814 supports one-processor sockets, offering 4-core 3.02 GHz, or 6-core 3.02 GHz or 8-core 3.72 GHz POWER8 processor-based configurations in a 19-inch rack-mount, 4U (EIA units) drawer or desk- side configuration. All the cores are active.

The Power S814 server supports a maximum of eight DDR4 CDIMM slots. Memory supported are 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB, and run at speeds of 1600 Mbps, allowing for a maximum system memory of 1024 GB.

• Rich I/O options in the system unit include:
  • Two PCIe G3 x16 full-height, full-length slots (one CAPI controller per socket at direct PCIe x16 slot from each socket)
  • Four PCIe G3 x8 full-height, half-length slots (One of the four PCIe G3 x8 LP slots will not be available if the high-function RAID controllers are installed.)
  • Eighteen 2.5-in. HDD SFF bays
  • RAID 0, 5, 6, 10, 5T2, 6T2, and 10T2 support
  • One DVD
  • One PCIe G3 x8 slot for 1GbE 4-port LAN controller integrated
• Two front and two rear USB 3.0 ports; one rear system port
• Service processor
• 1+1 Redundant hot-swap ac power supplies in each enclosure
• 19-inch rack-mount 4U or desk-side configuration
• PowerVM
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5, or later; SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 3, or later; AIX 6.1, 7.1, or later; IBM i 7.1, 7.2, or later, operating system support
