We would like to invite you to join us at the Live Stream announcement event

On 7th March, IBM will be unveiling POWER9 – the most powerful servers to date for Enterprise workloads.

POWER9 builds upon the core values of security, resilience and performance for traditional IBM i and AIX workloads, with unprecedented price performance as well as embracing a cloud framework to allow clients to quickly and easily deploy next generation AI and Cognitive applications.

IBM Power10 delivers higher performance, efficiency, and security for enterprise-grade hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Power11 is here!

Official IBM support for several Power9-based servers will end in January 2026. If you have applications running on one of these models, you could be facing significantly higher operational costs and business risk.

Sure, staying on Power9 or moving to Power10 would save you some capital in the short term.

But Northdoor recommends you jump straight to Power11.
