Will we see the Power 11 S1112 prior to EOS of Power 9's?

  • 1.  Will we see the Power 11 S1112 prior to EOS of Power 9's?

    Power 9 end of service is 2026-01-31 as per https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/announcements/services-withdrawal-discontinuance-service-select-power-systems-products-replacements-available
    Will the Power 11 S1112 be available prior to that?

    @Marc Gregorutti Thank you for your reply.  Tried looking at your profile to see who you are affiliated with and it's pretty bare.  Boss likes to know sources.  I also could not find you on LinkedIn.

    Please note, the URL listed here shows the selected POWER9 servers that will have service discontinuance on January 31, 2026. These are not all POWER9 servers.

    Notably, the 9009-22G, 9009-41G and 9009-42G do not have their EOS announced yet. Same holds true for systems like 9040-MR9 (E950) and 9080-M9S (E980) for which no announcement was made.

    I would like to add an related question:  Is there any recommendation for customers currently running small oracle workloads on S922 22A systems what to do next year?

    Replacing them with S1014 / S1012 seems to be a bit of a waste, given that Power 11 is available in principle (and already supported by oracle) and would be a more sustainable invest.  But it seems currently there is no Power 11 for Oracle SE2, yet.

    So far I only found the following sentence in the  IBM Power11 Scale-Out Servers: Introduction and Overview red book, but nothing else except the discussions in this forum.

    Well, no later than some time next year, IBM will have the suggested replacement model out, as outlined in the following image from https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg248590.pdf

    Actually IBM seems to be recommending a P10 tier for S922 as opposed to the P05 tier for S914.  The S922 replacement is out.  Whether or not you can run that workload on a P05 tier is another question.

    The way I see this is that any IBM product called a S1112 is NOT ANNOUNCED and SHOULD NOT be discussed in a public forum.

    Any dates or specifications are pure guesswork. 

    I also worry that Non-Disclosure Agreements are being broken by people who should know better.

    If I have this all wrong, please let us all know the official online announcement document links.

    Interestingly, Google (AI parts) just makes up the data from S1012 details = complete lies!
