Today IBM debuted new Power Systems servers built on an "open server" platform. According to Big Blue, the new scale-out Power servers culminate a $2.4 billion investment and are built from the ground up to harness Big Data with the new IBM POWER8 processor. This is the first truly disruptive advancement in high-end server technology in decades, with radical technology changes and the full support of an open server ecosystem that will seamlessly lead our clients into this world of massive data volumes and complexity," said Tom Rosamilia, Senior Vice President, IBM Systems and Technology Group. “There no longer is a one-size-fits-all approach to scale out a data center. With our membership in the OpenPOWER Foundation, IBM’s POWER8 processor will become a catalyst for emerging applications and an open innovation platform.” Learn more: http://wp.me/p3RLEV-2jq

POWER8 & OpenPOWER: Leading an Industry Shift
2
IBM is playing a leading role in an industry shift toward collaborative server technology development through:
OpenPOWER Foundation – Working with Google, NVIDIA, Samsung and more to collaboratively design new servers to tackle Big Data
New IBM POWER8 Systems – IBM’s first series of servers built on an open server platform, designed for large, scale-out computing environments and Big Data
• The result of a $2.4 billion investment, 3+ years of development and exploiting hundreds of IBM patents
• Expanded support for Linux – developments include the availability of Canonical's Ubuntu Server, along with Red Hat and SUSE, and the introduction of PowerKVM
• Through the OpenPOWER Foundation, IBM released detailed technical specifications for its POWER8 processor, inviting collaborators to innovate on the processor and server platform

POWER8 Systems deliver Big Data insights 50x faster Running Cognos BI reports, and analytics on POWER8 with DB2 with BLU Acceleration versus Ivy Bridge with a traditional database
4
50x is based on IBM internal testing of sample analytic workloads of varying complexity; current as of March 28, 2014. Performance improvement figures are cumulative of all queries in the workload. Individual results will vary depending on individual workloads, configurations and conditions.
IBM Analytics Stack: IBM Power System S824; 24 cores / 192 threads, POWER8; 3.5GHz, 384 GB memory, DB2 with BLU Acceleration v10.5 and Cognos v 10.2
Competitive stack: HP DL380p; 24 cores / 48 threads; Intel E5-2697 v2; 2.7 GHz; 384 GB; Traditional database and Cognos v 10.2
+ DB2 with BLU Acceleration on POWER8 for Cognos BI is ‘Fast on Fast on Fast!’
+ First processer designed for Big Data with massive parallelism and bandwidth for real-time results
• 20-40x more throughput for simple and intermediate reports
• >100x better throughput for complex reports
