Daily news about IBM Power Servers

When it comes to recovery, and cyber resilience in general, the question to ask is, what problem or problems do we need to recover from ? This describes cyber resiliency as the ability to “anticipate, withstand, recover from and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses, attacks or compromises.”

These projects repurposed servers that ultimately avoided waste and supported IBM’s results of reselling, reusing or recycling 96.8% of end-of-life products. For many decades, IBM has developed products with consideration for serviceability and upgradability, and for the reuse, recyclability, and recoverability of materials within them.

Originally published in the IBM 2023 Impact Report Wael El Chouwani, IBM Sustainability Software Market leader, believes that leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to support sustainable building operations is of utmost importance. This not only aligns with our commitment to sustainability but also showcases the transformative potential of technology in creating smarter cities, including objectives in sustainability. In 2023, IBM put this into practice with clients such as The King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). Created with sustainability in mind, IBM and KAFD worked together on one of the world’s largest real estate projects to achieve LEED Platinum certification for green neighborhood development, the highest accreditation from the U.S. Green Building Council. And Wael was part of this project. Through our collaboration with KAFD, using AI capabilities, IBMers helped achieve sustainable building operations by enabling advanced data analysis and leveraging machine learning algorithms to identify patterns, anomalies, and potential energy-saving opportunities. Thanks to the integration of AI tools, the KADF can optimize energy usage, reduce environmental impact, and enhance overall operational efficiency. The seamless integration of AI capabilities empowers the KAFD to achieve its sustainability goals, making it a leading example of how technology can power sustainable buildings.

Rocket Software’s Jeff Cherrington discusses key use cases for hybrid cloud and explains how to expand your existing IBM zSystems or Power Systems infrastructure with hybrid cloud strategies.From: TechChannel

In 2021, private equity firm GI Partners, which is famous for creating the Digital Realty datacenter operator, acquired LightEdge from Anschutz for an undisclosed amount and said that LightEdge company would be the kernel on which it would grow its investments in cloud service providing. If there is a large group of IT customers who pay a premium for a premium product but who are also going to be experiencing a skills shortage in the coming years, then you want to be in the position of selling them networking, compute, and storage capacity in the cloud or in co-location facilities.

Originally published in the IBM 2023 Impact Report For many decades, IBM has developed products with consideration for serviceability and upgradability, and for the reuse, recyclability, and recoverability of materials within them. For this, IBM supports hardware refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling. Linda Demmler, GM of IBM Global Asset Recovery Services, leads the team that identifies ongoing opportunities to redeploy IBM Z, IBM Power, IBM Storage and other IT devices to avoid waste. In 2023, IBM reused equipment that clients returned to IBM when they upgraded their infrastructure with new IBM systems. IBM used this returned equipment to refresh its own internal fleet of servers and storage. Linda and her team initiated a series of projects to replace equipment, such as replacing Z13 with Z15 servers. These projects repurposed servers that ultimately avoided waste and supported IBM’s results of reselling, reusing or recycling 96.8% of end-of-life products. By utilizing IBM’s Certified Pre-Owned equipment in this project, the team was able to deploy cost effective cloud-based resources to support development teams, which enabled them to have capacity that matched the timing of application support requirements.

Leveraging this expansion, IBM can help Indian businesses by providing a flexible, scalable, and secured platform to run mission-critical workloads, including AI, that extends on-premises environments to the cloud. From banking, insurance, manufacturing, retail and telecom, most Indian enterprises today are deciding to run their mission-critical workloads on a hybrid cloud infrastructure.

This demo features the use of OpenShift Multi-Arch Compute to transfer workloads from an x86 Worker Node to an IBM Power Worker Node. The Sock-Shop, an open-source e-commerce solution that utilizes microservices and is available on GitHub, is used for this purpose.The solution is installed on a combination of x86 and Power Worker Nodes. To begin the migration process, I cordon both x86 and one of the Power Worker Nodes, thereby preventing Pods from being scheduled to them. Subsequently, I delete the Pods on one of the x86 Worker Nodes, which are restarted on the Power Worker Node.00:00 Sock Shop Installation on Multi-Arch OpenShift00:11 Sock Shop Web Site00:17 Sock Shop Nodes00:49 Sock Shop Pods & Containers01:34 Cordon Nodes01:54 Delete x86 Pods02:12 Pods starting on Power03:13 The Sock Shop is fully functional again

IBM Power Virtual Server (PowerVS), a cloud infrastructure for IBM Power Systems workloads, is being enhanced with new features to improve resiliency, simplify migrations, and reduce network complexity. As a result, more Power Systems users are beginning their migration to PowerVS.

Join us in Milano – Common Europe Congress – 3-6 June 2024 Italyhttps://commoneuropecongress2024.sched.com/Great and interesting presentations and time to discuss your specific HANAonPOWER projects! Hybrid – onprem – offprem – Cloud-PowerVS Options – SAP RISE etc.

Last fall/summer we caught wind of the fact that IBM was going to raise prices on hardware and software effective this year, and then we never saw the announcement letter from Big Blue on General Price Harmonization or the one on price increases relating specifically to Power Systems and IBM i. As it turns out, those announcements were made on September 1 last year and they went into effect on January 1 – something that was not apparent to us (or the business partners that we talk to from time to time) until we were reviewing the subscription pricing deal … The post IBM Hardware, Software, And Support Prices Hiked appeared first on IT Jungle.
