IBM Power10 represents a massive step forward in computing power, but you might be wondering what sorts of upgrades you should look out for. To figure out which upgrades would help you the most, we'll need to understand your business goals. Do you want something that will allow you to better handle cloud-based data analytics? Or are you looking for something that can help you store and manage terabytes of data?

If the answer is yes (or even maybe), your company should really consider upgrading to IBM Power10, which offers improvements in memory, processing power, and system management efficiency. Let's take a look at some of the ways IBM Power10 can help your company!

IBM's new Power10 platform has everyone talking, and for a good reason: it's a massive leap forward in the way the world operates its businesses. Customers of IBM i realise that everything is changing as organisations increasingly go to the cloud. For years, you've been searching for a server upgrade, and now that IBM's Power10 hardware is available, it's time to start thinking about it. High-performance computing (HPC) must evolve to meet the demands of an industry that is constantly evolving. In the past, IBM Power Systems have been praised for their HPC expertise. Still, the systems have been widely criticised for their lack of scalability and flexibility - a problem IBM has recently addressed with their new Power10 system.

How does it work?

The first Power10 chips are set to be installed in the next generation of IBM Power Systems servers and will be available shortly. In addition to enhanced security and memory performance, the new chip is expected to improve total system performance and application processing capabilities by up to 50% compared with current Power9 systems.
 
"We have done a lot of work on our process technology," said Doug Balog, general manager of IBM's Cognitive Systems division. "We have not had to do an aggressive shrink." Instead of a shrinking die size, IBM has been able to increase the transistor density per square millimetre of silicon by 1.5 times with each generation of chips in recent years.
 

Who is it for?

Power10 is designed for businesses that want to maximise their investment in IBM systems while leveraging new technologies such as advanced encryption and memory performance enhancements. With support for the existing Power9 infrastructure, it provides a future-proofed transition path that can be applied as required.
 
The Power10 will be built using 7nm technology, which means it will be 30% faster and 30% more efficient than its predecessor. The Power10 will also use a new multi-chip module design, allowing processing to take place close to the memory. This new chip is designed for hybrid cloud deployments, cognitive workloads and running data analytics in real-time. The Power10 will run open-source apps like Red Hat.
 
In the IBM world, there are many things that can be done to ensure that your business is going to thrive. However, if you don't have the right infrastructure in place, you may not be getting the most out of your machines. This is why it's critical for companies to upgrade their IBM Power Systems when new models are coming out.
