OpenPOWER

Open source software has proven itself in enterprise use over the last two decades. Operating systems, virtualization solutions and critical enterprise applications like databases benefit from the open development model and the transparency it brings.

OpenPOWER systems now bring these advantages to the hardware side in the form of powerful servers. The open source developed OpenPOWER firmware is available for download on GitHub – meaning that the source code can be analyzed and viewed by independent parties.

Applications

The POWER8 architecture of the OpenPOWER server is suited for high-performance computing, big data, databases and virtualization with KVM. The high memory bandwidth and generous level 2, level 3 and level 4 caches provide outstanding performance and low latencies for complex calculations. Scalability up to 512 GB of RAM ensures sufficient headroom for even the most memory-intensive applications.
 
The OpenPOWER server supports Ubuntu 16.04, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1 and CentOS7 (all in the PPC64 Little Endian variant) as operating systems.
