Purchasing and Support Options

IBM and Red Hat have collaborated to make the Spyre software stack available on IBM Power11-based servers. IBM recommends purchasing all components and support through IBM for a seamless experience. However, customers may choose to purchase Red Hat AI Inference Server and RHEL licenses directly from Red Hat.

Important Note: If components are purchased from Red Hat, support responsibilities may be split between IBM and Red Hat. Customers may be redirected to the appropriate support organization depending on the nature of the issue.
