IBM POWER E1150

Versatile Performance for Core Business Workloads

The IBM Power E1150 is the versatile, high-performance building block for the modern data centre. It brings the advanced capabilities of the Power11 Dual-Chip Module (DCM) processor to a dense and efficient 4U chassis, offering up to 25% more core capacity than its predecessor. It is the ideal server for organisations running a mix of business-critical applications, such as Oracle or SAP HANA databases, alongside modern containerised workloads.

The E1150 is designed for businesses that need to consolidate older systems onto a more powerful and secure platform, providing a flexible foundation for private and hybrid cloud.

KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER

Engineered for Performance and Resilience

The Power E1150 delivers a significant performance uplift, with up to 30 cores per socket and 16 TB of high-bandwidth DDR5 memory. It is engineered for resilience, with built-in spare cores on each processor, Active Memory Mirroring to reduce unplanned outages, and Quantum-safe encryption to protect data at rest and in motion.

Investment protection is assured with a planned serial number-preserving upgrade path from the Power E1050 (available 4Q 2025). This system can also be enhanced with the IBM Spyre™ AI Accelerator, providing a powerful, secure platform to run generative AI workloads.
