System p AVE supports the installation and running of most 32-bit x86 Linux applications on any System p model with POWER5™ or POWER5+™ technology, or IBM BladeCenter® JS20 or JS21 servers. It creates an x86 Linux application environment running on POWER processor-based systems by dynamically translating x86 instructions to Power Architecture™ instructions.
Best of all, System p AVE can be downloaded at no charge so that you can begin realizing value immediately. Imagine the possibilities of having tens of thousands of x86 Linux applications for the industry-leading2 System p platform!
IBM System p and JS20/21 servers with the Advanced POWER Virtualization2 option and System p AVE form the ultimate consolidation platform for Linux and AIX 5L applications. These features combined with servers such as the System p5 560Q, which offers up to 16 cores, can amplify the cost-savings of a consolidated environment with reduced energy, space and hardware maintenance costs by a reduction in individual servers.
