POWER9 Servers

Cal-Sierra Technologies, Inc. > POWER9 Servers

POWER9™ servers are built for the most data-intensive and demanding computing on earth. Whether it’s AI, cloud infrastructure or the ability to run your mission-critical applications with ease, Power Systems™ has you covered. Learn more about what the new enhanced core and POWER9 processor chip architecture can do for your business.

Power9 ChipThe advantage of the POWER9 chip

POWER9 delivers blazing speed with up to 1.5x the performance of its POWER8® predecessor. Just imagine the data-intensive workloads you’ll be able to handle using the only processor with state of the art I/O subsystem technology, including next-generation NVIDIA NVLink, PCIe Gen4 and OpenCAPI.

 

Explore the POWER9

Enhanced core and chip architecture for next-gen workloads

Ideal for performance-hungry applications with twice the performance per core vs. Intel Xeon SP processors

I/O processor chip provides superior bandwidth, scale and capacity to ingest and analyze data

Security built into every layer of the stack, starting with the chip


Double the crypto engines on POWER9 at twice the speed to encrypt data faster

On-chip accelerators with new GZIP compression/decompression work much faster than software
The premier platform for accelerate computing with maximized bandwidth


Ultra-high bandwidth CPU-GPU interconnect delivers ~ 4x faster training for AI models

OpenCAPI™ interface offers high bandwidth and low latency communication to NICs, FPGA accelerators, and storage controllers

99.999% UptimeUptime is crucial to your business

Uptime is one of the most vital metrics for the performance of your mission-critical systems. An unreliable server can open you to security vulnerabilities and ultimately lead to your data center’s collapse. That’s why the five nines of reliability you get from POWER9 are so vitally important to your success.
