Power System S922 (9009-22G)

Power Systems has always been focused on reliability and performance. The Power System S922 server is primed with POWER9 processor, displaying a technology designed from the ground up for data-intensive workloads such as operational databases, advanced analytics, and business applications. The system is built with innovations that deliver the highest security and reliability standards for future-driven enterprises.

When it comes to virtualization technology, Power Systems are unmatched. With a built-in PowerVM hypervisor, clients have been relying on IBM for years to provide consumability and agility in IT data centers. Today, leveraging IBM's unique, comprehensive approach to the cloud, from on-premises IT to public cloud provider, we are taking one step forward.

The new Power System S922, powered by PCIe Gen4 switches, delivers a seamless and lightspeed throughput I/O between multiple on-premises and public clouds applications, as well as cloud-like agility and economics by supporting Enterprise Pools 2.0.

The Power S922 (9009-22G) server has been refreshed to provide:

A superior on-premises infrastructure for hybrid cloud

• Twice as fast back-end I/O enables seamless maximum speed and throughput between on-premises and multiple public cloud infrastructures with high availability.
• Largest memory bandwidth and memory storage in the market together with up to 14 (four U.2 NVMe plus up to ten PCIe add in cards) NVMe adapters allow a huge VM, container, and bare metal consolidation, saving data center space and networking costs.
• Supports multiple OS instances without processing overhead in the server.
• PowerVM hypervisor is built in at no extra charge, so every POWER9 workload is virtualized, mobile, and cloud ready.
• IBM VM Recovery Manager, built on PowerVM, provides easy, low-cost solutions for high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) operations.
• IBM PowerHA for AIX and IBM i are the low-cost, highly automated solutions to deliver high availability features to your mission critical applications.

Introducing Shared Utility Capacity for pay-per-use compute experience by the minute

• Flexible consumption with pay-per-use computing through Power Enterprise Pools 2.0. No fixed monthly fees: you pay for what you use.
• Enables multisystems resource sharing across a collection of IBM scale-out servers - pool processors, AIX, and IBM i license entitlements.
• Lower initial system price with a higher value-added proposition. Systems may be configured with only a single core active and 256 GB memory.
• Delivers an on-premises cloud-like agility and economics experience with leadership business continuity and security hardware.
• Industry-leading monitoring and metering through an IBM Cloud Management Console (CMC) with granular real-time and historical views of consumption by resource by LPAR and system.
