High-density enterprise server with scalable cores and massive memory for mission-critical workloads
Overview
Flexible, high-capacity server for critical enterprise workloads
The IBM® Power® S1024 is a 4U rack server in the IBM Power portfolio. The S1024 supports up to 48 Power10 processor cores and up to 8 TB memory, and is designed to run AIX®, IBM i and Linux®.
Features
Engineered for scale, speed and AI
Run more workloads on fewer systems with 2.5X more cores per system. This increased core density enables consolidation, improves system utilization and reduces infrastructure complexity while supporting higher performance demands across diverse applications.
Achieve cloud-like economics on premises using usage-based metering across systems. This flexible consumption model helps align infrastructure costs with actual usage, giving you better cost control while maintaining performance, security and operational flexibility.
Improve availability with Active Memory Mirroring, which duplicates memory data to protect against failures. This capability enhances system reliability and uptime, helping ensure business-critical applications remain continuously available with minimal disruption.1
Speed up AI inferencing with four Matrix Math Accelerators per core. This built-in capability enables faster processing at the point of data, reducing latency and allowing real-time insights without relying on external accelerators or additional hardware.
Use cases
Support for diverse enterprise workloads
Run a wide range of business-critical applications with flexibility and reliability. Support data platforms, core business systems, and modern cloud environments while maintaining performance, availability, and efficiency across dynamic enterprise workloads.
Software
Manage and secure IBM Power systems with software that simplifies administration and streamlines virtualization.
IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC) is used to configure and control one or more Power servers. The console delivers a virtual appliance format for increased deployment flexibility.
IBM PowerSC (security and compliance) is a solution optimized for virtualized environments on IBM Power servers running AIX, IBM i or Linux. PowerSC sits on top of the IBM Power server stack, integrating security features built at different layers.
IBM PowerVC is an advanced virtualization and cloud management offering. Built on OpenStack, it provides simplified virtualization management and cloud deployments for IBM AIX, IBM i and Linux virtual machines (VMs) running on IBM Power.
