  To handle the most data-intensive mission-critical workloads, organizations need servers that 
  can deliver outstanding performance and scalability. Whether they are supporting small 
  business groups or building large private and hybrid cloud environments, they need 
  no-compromise infrastructure. 
  
  **Enterprise (Scale-up) servers**
  IBM Power Systems Enterprise (Scale-up) servers, as listed in Table 5-1, offer the highest 
  levels of performance and scale for the most data- intensive, mission-critical workloads. They 
  can also serve as building blocks for growing private and hybrid cloud environments. Support 
  for AIX, Linux, and IBM i (for the IBM Power Systems E980 server) gives organizations the 
  flexibility to run a wide range of applications. 
  
  The IBM Power Systems E950 server is the correct fit for growing midsize businesses, 
  departments, and large enterprises that are looking for a building-block platform for their data 
  center. The IBM Power Systems E980 server is designed for large enterprises that need 
  flexible, reliable servers for a private or hybrid cloud infrastructure.
