Introduction

In a digital-first world where every millisecond matters and every workload must be resilient, businesses are revisiting their core IT infrastructure. At the heart of high-performance computing and mission-critical reliability stands IBM Power10 — a platform engineered for the demands of modern enterprise workloads.

At Code24, we work with organizations across Australia to modernize, secure, and scale their systems using IBM Power Systems. In this article, we’ll explain why IBM Power10 is not just an upgrade — it's a leap forward in infrastructure strategy.

What is IBM Power10?

IBM Power10 is the latest generation of IBM's RISC-based architecture, designed to deliver high throughput, enhanced security, and hybrid cloud flexibility. Built on a 7nm process and supporting up to 15x faster AI inference, Power10 is made for:

1. SAP HANA and S/4HANA
2. IBM i and AIX
3. AI and machine learning
4. Hybrid cloud with IBM PowerVS

Key Benefits for Enterprise Workloads

1. Unmatched Performance for Critical Apps

Whether you're running a multi-terabyte SAP HANA DB or high-volume transaction processing on IBM i, Power10 handles it with ease. It delivers up to:

1. 3x more performance per core than Power8
2. Support for 4TB per socket memory
3. Advanced memory bandwidth & cache efficiency

2. AI at the Core

With Matrix Math Acceleration, Power10 accelerates AI inference directly on-chip — no need for external GPUs. Ideal for real-time analytics, fraud detection, or AI ops.

3. Security Without Compromise

Power10 includes:

1. Memory inception for secure workload isolation
2. End-to-end encryption
3. New firmware-level security layers

4. Optimized for Hybrid Cloud

Power10 integrates seamlessly with IBM PowerVS (Power Virtual Server), enabling:

1. Cloud bursting
2. Backup and DR replication
3. Dev/test workloads on cloud while keeping prod on-prem

Use Cases We See in Australia

1. Retail running ERP and IBM i for 20+ years, now planning S/4HANA migration
2. Manufacturing modernizing AIX-based planning apps with AI-assisted demand forecasting
3. Banks combining IBM i reliability with Power10’s new RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability)
