IBM expands its Power10 server family
As more organisations embrace AI and move to the cloud, higher processing speed computers are needed to maintain consistent performance to run critical workloads. IBM’s new suite of Power10 scale-out servers are designed to meet this demand whether these workloads are on premise or from remote locations.
Supporting Mission Critical Functions
However, it is not just about processing speeds. If systems go down, the whole company can come to a halt - orders ceased, shipments stopped and purchases revoked and refunded.
Critical data-intensive workloads like these need to be protected at all times, so security is essential. Banking customers in Singapore have long relied on IBM Power to run their core workloads and handle the increased demand for digital banking and personalised services.
Pharmacies use these systems for immediate and secure tracking of patient prescriptions. Telecom providers use them for AI and hybrid cloud capabilities across a network of facilities. Automotive parts suppliers also put these systems to work to drive automation in industrial manufacturing plants.

Singapore enterprises that want to maximise their hybrid can leverage these flexible and secure platforms to scale up according to demand.
Although IBM launched its first Power10-based server last September, the updated versions are more useful for businesses that want to scale up their critical workloads on-premises and in multi cloud environments.
Today, its family of servers has four new mid-range and entry-level server options to help a wider range of businesses become more agile, flexible, and secure.
Newer version with more memory power
The IBM Power10 portfolio is built around the next-generation processor with double core and twice the memory bandwidth than its predecessor. Capacity can be upgraded on demand. These enterprise servers deliver 4-socket computers with Java and ERP performance capabilities, that are ideal for SMBs with remote branch offices.
Cloud on premises with new flexible consumption choices
Its flexible consumption offerings with pay-as-you-go options and by-the-minute metering for IBM Power Private Cloud, brings more opportunities to help lower the cost of running OpenShift solutions. Additionally, its subscription model delivers a comprehensive platform solution with both hardware and software and support included in the service.
Its new midrange servers deliver scale (up to 16 TB) and performance for a 4-socket system for clients who run across various cloud platforms.
The new systems with IBM Power Virtual Server also help clients operate a secured hybrid cloud experience to deliver architectural consistency across their IT infrastructure.
The systems are uniquely designed so as to protect sensitive data from core to cloud, and enable virtual machines and containerized workloads to run simultaneously on the same systems.
This has enabled businesses that run workloads to move into the cloud easily. This flexibility can help clients mitigate risks and time associated with rewriting applications for different platforms.
“As organizations around the world continue to adapt to changes in consumer behaviors and needs, they need a platform to deliver their applications and insights securely where and when they need them,” said Peter Rutten, IDC worldwide infrastructure research vice president.
