Description
The POWER9 scale-out family is the first set of entry servers that comes
completely cloud-enabled out of the box with integrated PowerVM Enterprise
capabilities. Additionally, on-chip analytics and algorithms help clients
run their workloads at an optimized processor frequency for performance and
throughput. In combination with the DDR4 memory footprint of 4 TB, IBM
provides systems that are unmatched by the competition in terms of memory
scaling as well as the core to memory ratio needed for data-centric and
in-memory workloads. Live Partition Mobility capabilities are built in to
cloud-enable your POWER9 infrastructure and help you migrate from previous
Power Systems. Every new S922 also has the option of a temporary PowerVM
license for your old server to support a seamless move of workloads to
POWER9. The Power S922 server has built-in security that can help you to be
ready for current and future security threats.
The Power S922 server supports two processor sockets, offering 10-core or
20-core typical 2.9 to 3.8 GHz (max), or 8-core or 16-core typical 3.4 to
3.9 GHz (max), or 4-core typical 2.8 to 3.8 GHz (max) POWER9
processor-based configurations in a 19-inch rack-mount, 2U (EIA units)
drawer configuration. All the cores are active. The Power S922 server
supports a maximum of 32 DDR4 DIMM slots. Memory features supported are 16
GB, 32 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB, allowing for a maximum system memory of 4096
GB.
