  • 1.  Power 10 Withdraw from Marketing

    Posted 2 days ago

    Good Morning Team - 

    Hopefully everyone out here in the #NerdHerd is enjoying all the new features, functionality and performance that Power11 is bringing to the table. ( It does have some fun new stuff)
    Has anyone heard anything about bringing some of that great functionality from the HMCs into the Power10 lineup?  I am really like some of the new features ( like Autonomous Error Resolution ) and think it would be great ported into our existing Power10s.

    What's with the FUD title?

    Have you seen anything about Power 10 withdrawn from marketing?  Or, is this just a tease to draw someone into answering your question?

    I don't what FUD means.  I was hoping to see if anyone in here has heard anything about Power10 WFM ( Withdrawn from Marketing ).  
    It wasn't a tease - but I did want to get the conversation started about it.  I figured here was the best place.  I thought about LinkedIn and Twitter and really thought that those venue would get more speculation and hype rather than information.  If the headline is alarmist , it was not my intention.  I thought that this was really the most tightly assembled group of IBM Power people ( a smaller subset of the overall #NerdHerd )

    FUD = Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt.

    So basically you had two questions.  One, any news on Power 10 withdrawal from marketing?  Two, will features ( like Autonomous Error Resolution ) be added to Power 10?

    I don't believe there's been any announcements on Power 10 withdrawal from marketing.  You can check lifecycle at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/lifecycle/search?q=9105 Change the url appropriately or enter a new product name in the search.

    It's harder to pattern match Power systems lifecycle than it is to pattern IBM i lifecycle.
    Historically:
    Power 8, 8286-41A: withdrawn from marketing 31-May-2019. 14 months after Power 9 9009-41A GA
    Power 9, 9009-41A: withdrawn from marketing 29-Jan-2021. 18 months Before Power 10 9105-41B, 9105-42A GA (at least according to the site above)
    Power 10, 9105-41B&42A:  GA 22-Jul-2022
    Power 11, 9824-22A&42A, GA 08-Jul-2025

    I was NOT looking to FUD anyone.  ( Even went back up to see if I can change the title , but I can only edit my comments )
    For timelines - I had been looking at time from announcement to time when WFM , In Power9 , most servers were 2.8-3.3 years , but had some serious outliers with E950/E980/AC922 going 4-5 years.  Power 8 had some similar timelines.

    And yes , I love AER for the Power11 , it is VERY helpful and I think would be an awesome addition to Power10 hardware as well.
