Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My company has a long history of using a diverse range of IBM products and the Power Systems AC922 is one of those. It is used by the analytics where it has been incorporated in a suite of software products that enable the analytics platform to run on the Big Data Lake architecture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High Performance Computing.
Scalability.
High I/O Bandwidth.
AI Model building and training.

Cons

Requires a high upfront investment in terms of cost.

Return on Investment

Significant performance improvements compared to x86 architectures.
Improved reliability of mission critical applications due to minimal unplanned downtime.
Built in end to end security.
Scalability and ease of deployment.

Likelihood to Recommend

For a large scale blue chip company already well versed with other IBM offered products and looking to set up up high performing data analytics platforms the Power Systems AC922 is a relatively straight forward choice. Organizations wanting to perform demanding and intensive computing on their data pipelines and data lakes can benefit greatly from the Powerful IBM POWER9™ processors that offer 16 cores or 20 cores turbo performances.
