    Hi, recently I was looking for some Data Sheets for IBM Power Systems as requested by a customer. Couldn't find it, anybody have idea where to find all Systems Data Sheets including Scale-Out systems.

    Hi,

    I not know about data sheets for Power systems.

    There are IBM Announcements for Power Servers but they are very hard to find and often technical information is missing.

    But IBM does have the IBM Redbooks for Power that cover all the servers in great technical detail for a decade or two.

    Start here https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/domains/power

    Or just Google for: Redbook for S1024

    If you want to find it directly. Note the "S1024" is the "hollywood" name for the server. 
    Sometimes (like in this case) the one Redbook also covers very similar models like S1024, S1022 ...

    Hope this helps, N

    Hello folks,


    Also a good approach is to ask chatgpt to do if for you :  probably faster ;)

    sample :
    my short sample 3 chatgpt report 

    - can you make a matrix of power system characteristics from IBM Power 7 to power 10

    - can you detail by model from scale out to high end

    - can you add also all mid range and high end system

    Final result .... you can also request some specific features

    🧩 IBM Power Systems Comparison Matrix (Power7 to Power10)

    🔹 Scale-Out Models

    Generation Model Sockets Max Cores Max Memory Storage Capacity Form Factor Ideal Workloads
    Power7 710/730 1/2 4–8 Up to 128GB HDD/SAS 2U Entry-level enterprise applications
    Power8 S812/S822 1/2 4–16 Up to 1TB HDD/SAS 2U Mid-sized business applications
    Power9 S914/S922 1/2 4–12 Up to 2TB HDD/SAS/NVMe 2U–4U Virtualization, cloud, AI workloads
    Power10 S1012 1 Up to 8 256GB 12.8TB NVMe 2U Small businesses, edge computing
    S1014 1 Up to 8 1TB 102.4TB NVMe 4U Branch offices, hybrid cloud
    S1022 2 Up to 40 4TB 51.2TB NVMe 2U Containerized workloads, OpenShift
    S1024 2 Up to 48 8TB 102.4TB NVMe 4U SAP HANA, hybrid cloud

    yes, we are aware of the IBM Power system announcement letters and sales manuals but some time customer release an RFP and request for datasheets for all proposed solution components where we have to upload systems DataSheets in order to be compliant.. as you know redbooks and sales manuals are huge documents and doesn't fulfill specific size requirements even. There used to be a specific IBM datasheets page but couldn't find it anymore.

    Sorry probably I do not catch your question, I'm working on power from years now and never faced your problem, can you share a sample on a component  for which your are not able to find the datasheet.

    Which kind of info are your trying to find and you are not finding.
    Happy to help if I can

    Hi,

    in a Data Sheet , it a summary of system highlights and brief description of Use cases along with some technical details. for example following is link to IBM Power E1080 Data Sheet.

    https://www.ibm.com/downloads/documents/us-en/107a02e95c48f71a

    I am looking for a page where we could find all systems Data Sheets.
