“IBM has strengthened its hand in the Unix business with new
systems based on its Power7 processors, including a server for
large enterprises that scales to 256 cores. The Power 795 is IBM’s
biggest Unix server to date. It’s aimed at companies that run large

Linux workloads onto a single system using IBM’s PowerVM
