IBM POWER systems POWER servers
POWER8 servers are built with a processor designed and optimized specifically for big data workloads combining compute power, cutting-edge memory bandwidth, and I/O in ways that result in increased levels of performance, resiliency, availability, and security.
IBM POWER systems were designed to run many of the most demanding enterprise applications, industry-specific solutions, relational database management systems, and high performance computing environments. POWER8 servers are an ideal system for Linux and support a vast ecosystem of OpenSource, ISV, and IBM SW Unit products, giving clients a single, industry-leading open architecture (IBM POWER) in which to store, retrieve, and derive value from the “gold mine” of next generation applications.
The new POWER8 servers available from SoftLayer offer an optimal hybrid cloud infrastructure to test new Linux workloads in a secure and isolated cloud environment with reduced risk. As clients explore newer use cases like advanced analytics, machine learning, and cognitive computing against the combination of vast amounts of both structured and unstructured data, POWER8 and SoftLayer are in a unique position to accelerate client value.
This new offering will also continue to leverage the rapidly expanding community of developers contributing to the OpenPOWER ecosystem as well as thousands of independent software vendors that support Linux on Power applications with

With the explosive growth of both structured and unstructured data, it requires businesses to derive insights and change faster than ever to keep pace. The cloud enables you to do just that. Our new and unique solution pairs SoftLayer’s Network-Within-a-Network topology for true out-of-band access, an easy-to-use customer portal, and robust APIs for full remote access of all product and service management options—with the unique high performance technology from IBM POWER8 to help accelerate the creation and delivery of the next generation of IT solutions.
