IBM Intellistation POWER 285 Express 9111

IBM Intellistation POWER 285 Express 9111 ... performance and capacity features in a flexible, affordable deskside package. It is an outstanding choice for high-end Mechanical Computer Aided Design (MCAD), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), graphic processing and other floating-point-intensive business and technical applications. Or using 2D graphics accelerators, it can be used for less demanding applications such as software development.

With leading-edge IBM POWER5+ processor technology, the affordable 64-bit symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) POWER 285 Express workstation offers significant price/performance benefits. It is the first UNIX engineering design workstation available supporting 64-bit CATIA V5 for large engineering assemblies. For CATIA MCAD workloads, the POWER 285 Express provides much higher performance than its predecessor, the IBM IntelliStation POWER 275, while generating much less noise. By extending performance of high-end design and analysis, the POWER 285 Express raises the bar for single-seat MCAD design and analysis solutions.

The POWER 285 Express supports the latest evolution of IBM 3D graphics technology: the POWER GXT4500P and GXT6500P Graphics Accelerators. These high-performance graphics accelerators operate even faster on the POWER 285 Express because of the low latency PCI Double Data Rate (DDR) slot included as standard on this workstation.

The POWER 285 Express workstation supports a full range of graphics input/output devices including the new USB SpaceBall Plus 3D and USB SpaceMouse Plus 3D input devices, the L200p 20.1-inch TFT flat panel monitor, and other keyboard and mouse devices.
