Power11 Scale Out Server deep dive
Wednesday June 17, 2026 09:10 - 10:10 CEST
A deep dive technical session focusing on server hardware, specifically the Scale Out models available with Power11 processor technology. This is an in depth technical session covering the architecture and design of the range of Power11 based scale out servers that run AIX, IBM i, and Linux workloads.
We will cover the Power11 processor architecture, the memory subsystem, the I/O capabilities, the total system design, and much more. This is a chance to better understand the S1122, S1124, L1122, and L1124 servers at a technical level, and the hardware features that can support your business workloads for the future. These hardware features support the functionality available through the PowerVM hypervisor and the hosted workloads - those that are new for the Power11 platform will be covered here too.
