4 out of 5 Fortune 100 Companies do this...

Companies large and small, from every industry, and from around the globe, depend on IBM Power Systems to "get the job done".

Why do some of the most successful companies on the planet, choose to run strategic workloads, including core banking, enterprise and open databases, AI, and cloud-native applications on IBM Power Systems?

It's all about trust.

And now, the systems in which these companies place their trust, just got better and faster to support requirements for greater scale, speed, and bandwidth, for demanding AI workloads.

I recently shared, within a blog titled "Looking under the hood of your AI infrastructure", an IDC study and paper stating that 90% of organizations they surveyed experienced bottlenecks in their infrastructure when they started running their AI applications on the cloud. And 77% of respondents faced limitations with their on-premises infrastructure for AI workloads. Within my article, I explained how IBM scientists and engineers are combating these challenges with solutions that go beyond just greater processing power and acceleration.

And in a related article, I wrote about the US Department of Energy’s Summit AI supercomputer, named the world’s fastest and smartest supercomputer, and designed with IBM’s newest generation POWER9 Systems.

What do these AI and Supercomputing solutions have to do with the Fortune 100?

80% of the Fortune 100 companies use IBM Power Systems – the same systems used in the world’s fastest AI supercomputer. Fortune 100 companies, and many more, are harnessing the performance and bandwidth of these systems to significantly reduce AI training times and improve AI accuracy.

And this systems just got better.

Today we complete the POWER9 family of announcements with our new Enterprise Class Scale Up Servers. We have taken learning and investments from projects like Summit and used it to optimize the offerings we bring to our clients, to address their demand for more scale, speed, efficiencies.
