The IBM POWER10 has been designed over five years and is considered an important milestone in IBM’s roadmap for POWER.
With hardware co-optimised for Red Hat OpenShift, IBM POWER10-based servers will deliver the future of the hybrid cloud when they become available during the second half of 2021. Samsung Electronics will manufacture the IBM POWER10 processor, combining Samsung's industry-leading semiconductor manufacturing technology with IBM's CPU designs.
Some of the new processor features include:
“Enterprise-grade hybrid clouds require a robust on-premises and off-site architecture inclusive of hardware and co-optimised software,” said Stephen Leonard, GM of IBM Cognitive Systems. “With IBM POWER10 we've designed the premier processor for enterprise hybrid cloud, delivering the performance and security that clients expect from IBM. With our stated goal of making Red Hat OpenShift the default choice for hybrid cloud, IBM POWER10 brings hardware-based capacity and security enhancements for containers to the IT infrastructure level.”
