Introduction 1-3

With logical partitioning, you can divide computing resources into as many as

three distinct partitions. Partitioning can be used for a variety of reasons, in-

cluding:

•

Consolidation of several different computing requirements into one hard-

ware system, thereby reducing floor space requirements, power consump-

tion, and air conditioning costs. Figure 1–2 shows an example of how an en-

terprise whose computing needs are met by three different systems can ac-

complish the same work with one system (a GS140) using logical partitions.

Logical partitions can be used to run different applications that require dif-

ferent configuration and tuning of the operating system.

•

Increasing the efficiency of an existing system. For example, a facility may

have one particularly I/O intensive (or compute intensive) application and a

variety of other applications without such demands. With partitioning, you

can allocate the resources needed to provide the two separate environments

required. More I/O (or CPU) modules can be allocated to the I/O (or com-

pute) intensive application and the other applications limited to a smaller

set of resources, and both environments run at the same time.
