Introducing IBM Power11

New applications are expected by 2028 and enterprises are drowning in complexity

Which makes keeping critical systems continually running a near impossible task and these challenges will only intensify as enterprises strive to remain competitive in the AI era.

Highly resilient organizations will achieve business success in the AI era

• 70% of business leaders say their tech architecture creates confusion, conflict and disagreement
• 65% of business leaders say their tech architecture is critical to how they use IT to improve business performance
• 92% of executives agree that their organization’s workflows will be digitized and will leverage AI enabled automation by 2025

Announcing IBM Power11

Autonomous IT built for the AI era

Engineered to accelerate enterprises into the AI era

• Hybrid Cloud Platform
• Operating Systems & Firmware
• Computing Hardware
• Silicon Technology

Built on a foundation of performance, availability, and security

• 0 Planned downtime with end-to-end automation
• < 1min guaranteed ransomware detection with automated response and recovery within minutes
• 5X increase in business process rate with AI integration into existing enterprise workflows

1. Based upon IBM internal testing of system upgrade scenarios; many (i.e. VIOS, hot plug adapters, I/O adapter FW, and concurrent system firmware updates) can be done in place while some (i.e. non concurrent system FW and HW maintenance) may require Live Partition Mobility (LPM) support.
2. This guarantee covers only the displaying of an alert in less then one minute. Remediation is in the form of drive replace men t up to the cost of the Covered Product. Terms and conditions apply; full details can be found here. (Coming to IBMi in 4Q 2025, Roadmap for PowerVS)
3. Geisgroup.eu , Uwe Remppel, head of ZSI department, Geis Group *: Measured in staging system.

Total coverage for unprecedented business continuity

1. Based upon estimated average entire system unplanned downtime for Power E1180 systems as calculated in the Power11 Processor Based Systems RAS (see section: Enterprise Single Server Availability Standard)
2. Based upon IBM internal testing of system upgrade scenarios; many (i.e. VIOS, hot plug adapters, I/O adapter FW, and concurre nt system firmware updates) can be done in place while some (i.e. non concurrent system FW and HW maintenance) may require Live Partition Mobility (LPM) support.
3. This guarantee of an alert in less then one minute. Remediation is in the form of drive replacement up to the cost of the Covered Product. Terms and conditions apply; full details can be found here . (Coming to IBMi in 4Q 2025, Roadmap for PowerVS)
4. Recovery is defined as the time it takes to for a Safeguarded Copy to be available in the same Flash System or moved to another defined host server attached to that Flash System. Does not include host server recovery actions that are application depe nde nt. Terms and conditions apply; full details can be found here
