Daily news about IBM Power Servers

IBM is extending the capabilities of Power Virtual Server to deploy in a client data center, delivering the flexibility around consumption and management capabilities of the cloud while keeping the data on-premises to help address regional compliance and governance requirements of the business. With the client data center option, a local zone is deployed into the client’s data center and connected to IBM Cloud to deliver the same as-a-service experience as the IBM Power Virtual Server service running in IBM’s own data centers.

Reliability has always been one of the hallmarks of IBM big iron, the midrange and mainframe systems hundreds of thousands of companies run their businesses on around the world. These sturdy systems simply don’t go down very often, certainly less frequently than “industry-standard” (i.e. Intel-based) systems. In fact, the System z and Power systems are so reliable that, statistically speaking, there’s very little room for improvement. For data on uptime and reliability, we turn to Information Technology Intelligence Consulting (ITIC), which is led by longtime IT industry analyst Laura DiDio. ITIC has been conducting an annual server and operating system … The post IBM Nears The End of the Road for Server Reliability Improvements appeared first on IT Jungle.

The enhancements for these collections of software were part of the October 8 announcements, were detailed in announcement letter AD24-0630, and will be available for electronic download on December 12 this … Read more

With high-end Power10 machines coming out in September 2021 and most of the Power10 lineup coming in July 2022, we don’t expect much in the way of substantial Power10 system announcement at this point in that processor’s lifecycle. The “Bonnell” entry Power S1012 machine from this year May is, in fact, probably the last Power10 machine to come out the door until Power11 systems come out next year some time. But IBM is always tweaking things here and there when it comes to hardware features and bundles, and so it is with the October IBM i platform updates. We saw … The post Sundry Hardware Announcements Accompany IBM i TR Updates appeared first on IT Jungle.
