IBM Power E1150

Why IBM Power E1150?

Mid-range servers are often a compromise between performance and scalability. Growing workloads require headroom. Legacy systems need consolidation. Hardware encryption shouldn’t cost performance. Enterprise-class RAS features available only in high-end.

IBM Power E1150 is an enterprise mid-range server with full RAS capabilities. 15-60 cores Power10 with SMT8 - scalability without compromise. 16 TB RAM - largest in-memory workloads. Hardware encryption - transparent memory encryption. 99.9999% availability with guarantee.
