IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 LA1


CEOs see sustainability as the number one challenge of the next two to three years and as their businesses continue their digital transformation. Improving IT efficiency is an opportunity for businesses as it is estimated that data centers globally already use 200 to 250 TW of electricity, about 1% of total electricity consumed.1 And as data and transaction volumes grow and as new cyber threats are addressed, those numbers will get bigger.

The new IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 is a uniquely architected design that is built to handle the multi-workload needs of a modern scalable digital business with the highest quality of service and the upmost efficiency. Powered by up to 200 high-performance Telum processors, the LinuxONE Emperor 4 delivers massive scalability to support multiple workloads in a single system. The Telum processor also features additional compute resources for dedicated workloads such as on-chip AI processing, and dedicated crypto processors deliver protection at speed and scale. So, what does LinuxONE Emperor 4 deliver for your business?
