IT department managers, facing challenges related to rapid performance growth, security breaches, and rising costs, are increasingly searching for a better server solution. IBM has such a solution in the form of the LinuxONE server family.
LinuxONE servers are excellent for running open source applications and database software: Oracle, KVM, Postgres, MariaDB, Docker, Kubernetes and dozens of others. They are better, faster, and more secure than any other servers in the industry. And the total cost of ownership (TCO) is lower than competing platforms.
Why would a company buy LinuxONE servers? Because they solve problems that on other platforms are a constant worry and remain an unsolved challenge.
Hardware Reliability - Confirmed Record!
In over 50 years of IBM mainframe server history, not a single hardware failure has been recorded!!!
The LinuxONE server is based on the IBM Z hardware platform. After decades of refinement, IBM has used it again, this time joining forces with the Open Source community. And why not! This server has documented, record reliability at a level close to 100% (seven “9s”).
Thanks to its reliability, availability, and scalability – the LinuxONE server provides quality unavailable in other technologies. This is determined by, among other things, redundant cores ensuring uninterrupted switching, the RAIM subsystem eliminating potential failures, and built-in comprehensive security and encryption mechanisms.
LinuxONE is particularly well suited for I/O-intensive applications. These operations are performed instead of by main processors, by dozens of dedicated IBM Power cores designed for fast I/O request handling.

Why this matters for organizations
Learn why it’s worth investing in IBM LinuxONE servers. Discover the advantages, features, and benefits of using LinuxONE servers that can increase the performance and security of your IT infrastructure. In the context of growing cyber threats and tightening regulations (NIS2, DORA), organizations must proactively manage this security area. Failure to implement adequate safeguards can lead to data breaches, financial penalties, and reputational damage.
Best practices for implementation
Effective implementation requires several key steps:
- Risk assessment and inventory — identify assets, threats, and vulnerabilities specific to your organization.
- Policy development — document requirements, roles, and responsibilities.
- Technical controls — deploy tools and configurations proportionate to identified risks.
- Training and awareness — engage employees in protecting organizational security.
- Monitoring and continuous improvement — regularly verify effectiveness and adapt to the evolving threat landscape.
