IBM Power Systems is putting data to work! On April 23, we introduced Power Systems built for bigger data demands in the cloud, expanding world's first Linux-based open server ecosystem. This provides you with tools tuned for a platform that boosts productivity and performance by removing constraints imposed by commodity architecture, along with accelerating compute and data-intensive tasks that improves cloud economics.

While I trust that you have already gotten started building and deploying on this, I would like to throw a challenge your way: the IBM Linux on Power App Throwdown at IBM Innovate 2014.

If you plan on attending IBM Innovate 2014 and have an app in the works, this is the challenge for you. We are looking for Business Partners, developers and startups that can demonstrate and promote their solutions that run on the Linux on POWER platform to an audience of IBM clients, sellers, Business Partners and developers at IBM Innovate 2014.

If you have what it takes, send us a 2-4 minute video demonstrating your solution’s use of IBM’s Linux on Power, along with a 500-word abstract about how your solutions works, the benefits if provides and how it is integrated with the IBM Linux on Power platform. You have until 5 pm EST on Wednesday, May 21 to submit, so get to it!

Don’t miss this once in a lifetime chance to gain massive exposure about your solution! Hear what past winners are saying about their experiences.
