Future of #BigIron: #TelumII and #Spyre
#IBM’s big #mainframe props up almost every key industry world-wide due to features such as 9x9 (99.999999%) uptime, security, and hardware focused on database and transaction processing.
#Telum became centerpiece of 4th gen #LinuxOne – a series of #Linux systems purely for z architecture. Another big focus, for #z15 and LinuxOne, was built-in #AI engine with every chip, allowing focused models to run alongside critical workloads.
