7/14/2020 IBM Power S914 Server (9009-42G), (9009-41G) and (9009-22G)

The Power S914 server, part of the next generation of Power Systems servers with POWER9 technology, is built with innovations that can help deliver security and reliability for the data intensive workloads of today’s enterprises. POWER9 technology is designed from the ground up for data-intensive workloads like databases and analytics.

Changes in the memory subsystem and the use of industry-standard memory DIMMs take POWER9 technology to the next level by superseding a number of existing price/performance offerings. Designed to run commercial, cognitive, and database workloads, provides a highly competitive server platform. Client references indicate these servers help provide a robust and secure backbone for their IT infrastructure. More companies are using this technology in their IT infrastructure down from the shop level to large data center deployments.

This server by default has its Power Management mode set to Dynamic Performance. This mode can dynamically optimize the processor frequency at any given time based on CPU utilization and operating environmental conditions it has been refreshed to provide:

The best on-premise infrastructure for Hybrid Cloud

  • 2x faster backend I/O allows a seamless, maximum speed and throughput between the onprem and multiple public cloud infrastructures with high availability
  • Largest memory bandwidth and memory storage in the market together with up to 11x NVMe adapters allows a huge VM, containers and bare metal consolidation saving datacenter space and networking costs
  • Support multiple OS instances without processing overhead in the server
PowerVM is built in, so every POWER9 workload is virtualized, mobile and cloud-ready

IBM Power Private Cloud with Flexible Utility Pricing on Scale-Out Servers

  • Cloud-like agility and economics with leadership business continuity and security

8/7/2018 IBM releases IBM Power System E950 (9040-MR9) and E980 (9080-M9S)

The next generation of Power Systems servers with POWER9 technology is built with innovations that can help deliver security and reliability for the data-intensive workloads of today's enterprises. POWER9 technology is designed from the ground up for data-intensive workloads like databases and analytics.

The Power E950 server by default has its Power Management mode set to Max Performance. This mode can dynamically optimize the processor frequency at any given time based on CPU utilization and operating environmental conditions. For a description of this feature and other power management options available for this server, see the IBM EnergyScale for POWER9 Processor-Based Systems website.

The Power E950 server offers elastic capacity on demand for both cores and memory, Active Memory Expansion, and Active Memory Mirroring for Hypervisor. The E950 supports AIX and Linux operating systems and PowerVM Standard and Enterprise. The Power System E950 server is a logical follow on to the Power System E850 and E850C servers.
