Increased performance, reliability, security and sustainability with Power11

Increased performance and energy efficiency

  • The Power11 delivers up to 55% improvement in core performance over Power9, adapting to increasing clients’ workloads.
  • Innovative 2.5D ISC (Integrated Stacked Capacitor) Interposer delivers a 50–100 MHz frequency uplift to the Power11 processor resulting in a 7–10% increase in rPerf
  • In-core AI capabilities permit running inferencing workloads inside the server without requiring additional accelerator hardware.

This new generation space-conscious, energy-efficient design enables organizations to scale workloads without over-provisioning and to reduce datacenter footprint – ideal for infrastructure modernization focused on ROI and agility.

  • 2× performance per watt at max power compared to comparable x86 systems.
  • New Energy Efficiency Mode improving server efficiency by up to 28% compared to Maximum Performance Mode.

Industry leading reliability and availability

For over 13 years, Power-based platforms have led industry in infrastructure reliability – and this generation continues that legacy with innovations that maximize uptime and operational continuity.

Unmatched platform reliability

Designed to be the most reliable in its class, the Power11 generation features advanced recovery and diagnostics, along with OMI-attached differential DIMMs that deliver twice the memory reliability and availability compared to industry-standard DIMMs.

Resilience against failures

With Active Memory Mirroring, critical memory used by the PowerVM hypervisor is duplicated, allowing the system to continue operating even if a memory failure occurs. Plus, two spare cores per socket ensure computing continuity in the event of hardware issues.

Zero planned downtime

The Power11 generation introduces capabilities that allow planned maintenance without taking critical workloads offline, ensuring continuous availability.

Faster problem resolution

Automated diagnostic data collection can save your IT team 5 to 8 hours per support ticket, dramatically accelerating problem identification and resolution and reducing mean time to repair and freeing up resources for strategic initiatives.

Built-in security

  • Transparent memory encryption with no management set up and no performance impact.
  • Support of future cryptographic techniques, such as quantum-safe cryptography and fully homomorphic encryption.
  • Rapid ransomware detection and automated recovery, helping minimize disruption and financial impact.
  • Automated cryptographic inventory intended to help meet evolving compliance needs and robust data security.
  • Quantum Safe protection for boot and LPM.

Additionally, organizations benefit from centralized security management through PowerSC, streamlining governance across workloads.
