8 September 2025 - 3 Minute Read
Are you ready to take your business into the AI era - with zero downtime, top-tier security, and a productivity boost you can actually feel? Baby Blue IT is excited to announce that we’re now offering the latest IBM Power11 systems - and trust us, if you know Chris Smith, Will Nicholls, and Lee Bailey, you already know you're in great hands. With over 90 years of combined experience (30 years each!).
Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Upgrade
1. Breakthrough Performance & Future-Ready AI
Power11 delivers up to 55% better core performance than Power9 and up to 45% more capacity in entry and mid-range models over Power10. It’s the first Power system built for AI inference, designed with on-chip acceleration and, soon, support for the IBM Spyre Accelerator - set to arrive in Q4 2025.
2. Mission-Critical Uptime, Zero Planned Downtime
Your business can operate without interruption: Power11 enables zero planned downtime through autonomous patching, live updates, and automated workload movement. IBM touts an ultra-high availability rate of 99.9999%, with just ~30 seconds of unplanned downtime annually.
3. Iron-Clad Security
Power11 raises the bar with built-in quantum‑safe cryptography, Power Cyber Vault for ransomware detection under one minute, and immutable snapshot protection, meeting NIST frameworks for resiliency and threat mitigation.
4. Sharper Efficiency, Leaner TCO
Experience double the performance per watt compared to x86 servers, plus an Energy Efficient Mode that delivers up to 28% more efficiency when maximum power isn’t required. Consolidation benefits can be dramatic with potential consolidation ratios from 3:1 to even 5:1, reducing energy and cooling costs by as much as 60–80%.
5. Hybrid Flexibility & OS Support
Power11 runs AIX, IBM i (versions 7.4–7.6) and Linux, all in one box or across clusters. With virtualization via PowerVM and support for cloud-native tools like Red Hat OpenShift, it’s a hybrid powerhouse for today's multi‑cloud strategy.
What This Means for Your Business
Whether you're running legacy AIX or IBM i workloads, eyeing AI-driven innovation, or simply ready for a much-needed performance and resiliency boost Power11 is a strategic leap. Chris, Will, and Lee are standing by to help you explore upgrade paths, model options, total cost of ownership (TCO), and even year-end incentives to make migration smoother.
