IBM introduces Power11 servers for AI operations
According to the US tech major, the Power11 servers are redesigned with innovations in processor, hardware architecture, and virtualisation software for hybrid deployment on-premises or in IBM Cloud.
Industries such as banking, healthcare, retail, and government have traditionally relied on IBM Power for data-intensive workloads.
With the advent of AI, enterprises face new technological challenges.
IBM's Power11 is built to provide simplified, always-on operations with hybrid cloud flexibility, helping enterprises stay competitive in the AI era, the company said.
Power11 is engineered to be a resilient server, claiming to offer up to 99.9999% uptime.
It aims to eliminate planned downtime for system maintenance and guarantees ransomware threat detection in under one minute with IBM Power Cyber Vault.
Additionally, Power11 will support the IBM Spyre Accelerator, a system-on-a-chip designed for AI-intensive inference workloads.
The IBM Spyre Accelerator will be part of IBM's enterprise systems portfolio, including Power11, IBM z17, and LinuxONE 5, providing advanced AI acceleration to scale AI across hybrid cloud environments.
IBM said Power11 offers up to 55% better core performance compared to Power9 and up to 45% more capacity with higher core counts in entry and mid-range systems compared to Power10.
IBM Power11 will be generally available on 25 July 2025, with the IBM Spyre Accelerator expected in the last quarter of 2025.
IBM GM of Power systems Tom McPherson said: 'IBM Power11 changes the game for enterprise computing. With Power11, clients can accelerate into the AI era with innovations tailored to their most pressing business needs.
'We are taking advantage of the full IBM stack to deliver hybrid cloud, AI, and automation capabilities while building on our decades-long reputation as a trustworthy hybrid infrastructure for essential workloads.'
Last month, IBM and Japan's national research laboratory RIKEN unveiled the first IBM Quantum System Two outside the US.
Located with RIKEN's supercomputer Fugaku, it was launched on 24 June 2025 in Kobe, Japan.
The system is powered by IBM's 156-qubit Quantum Heron processor, which boasts a two-qubit error rate significantly better than its predecessor, IBM Quantum Eagle.

Big Tech stock picks: Nvidia & IBM
Big Tech names have driven a lot of the market gains over the last couple of years. In the video above, director of investor research Jessica Inskip shares some of the themes she is watching and why she likes Nvidia (NVDA) and IBM (IBM). To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Opening Bid here. What names do you like in tech here? Yeah, I I like a lot in tech, actually. So anything that has exposure to AI or the efficiency boom, and anything that has exposure to digitization as well as, uh, software and cloud, anything that needs to bring that to come to life is what I'm liking. So from the baseline perspective, the software or the hardware chips. So Nvidia absolutely is a portion of that. But I also like IBM. That is needed from an enterprise solution perspective to put on those guard rails that are extremely important as we think of broader adoption of AI as it is applicable across every vertical. If you're in an industry like banking or highly regulated, you'll need something like an IBM to create those guard rails in this resurgence of Watson X that we're seeing. Additionally, I like anything that has exposure to cloud. We need clean data. You need your data on the cloud in order to have artificial intelligence. So that's going to be important as again broader enterprise adoption, especially with what we see is happening in the labor market, what I like to call the introduction of invisible labor that has exposure to that. We need that in order to really outsource and get these productivity increases. And then beyond that is anything within digitization and tokenization. That within the tech space, I think is the next leg higher. So it's not AI, it's broadening to the efficiency boom. Sign in to access your portfolio
