IBM LinuxONE III LT2

IBM LinuxONE III Model LT2 is enhanced to help extend the capabilities of the IBM LinuxONE family of servers as the platform for mission-critical workloads on a hybrid cloud.

Overview

IBM LinuxONE III Model LT1 and IBM LinuxONE III Model LT2 are enhanced to help extend the capabilities of the IBM LinuxONE family of servers as the platform for mission-critical workloads on a hybrid cloud. These new innovations will benefit all clients across our four main pillars: cloud native, encryption everywhere, cyber resiliency, and flexible compute.

  • IBM Secure Execution for Linux furthers the Confidential Computing agenda through the implementation of a trusted execution environment (TEE) on the LinuxONE platforms.
  • Workload and cryptographic algorithm enhancements enable Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) to support new standards.
  • The new IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center delivers industry-standard user experience to define and manage the lifecycle of a virtual infrastructure.
  • IBM Data Privacy Passports now exploit the latest release of IBM Hyper Protect Virtual Servers, which delivers improved exploitation of key LinuxONE III features, with more exploitation continuously being introduced.
  • LinuxONE III LT1 now supports up to 60 crypto hardware security modules (HSMs), supporting 85 domains, which provides over 5,100 virtual HSMs for ultimate scalability.
  • LinuxONE III LT2 now supports up to 40 crypto HSMs, supporting 40 domains, which provides over 1,600 virtual HSMs.
  • New support for coupling links enables LinuxONE to participate in the Server Time Protocol Coordinated Timing Network (STP CTN).
  • Initial program load boot support from NVMe devices is now available.
  • An 8U Reserved Space (#0150) and a 16U Reserved Space (#0151) feature is available for LinuxONE III LT2 (single frame) clients utilizing single-phase power.
