LinuxONE Emperor 4 Announcement
|
|
|
On Sept 13th Ross Mauri, IBM Z & LinuxONE General Manager, announced the new LinuxONE Emperor 4 with a strong focus on sustainability. Ross interviewed Martin Kennedy, Managing Director from Citigroup, who explained the benefits that Citigroup is getting with LinuxONE Emperor 4 and MongoDB. With the sustainability goal of net-zero carbon emissions in infrastructure by 2030, Citi Bank sought to leverage innovative technologies that improved customer experience and enhanced the security capability of service offerings, all while making a significant mark in the drive to net-zero carbon emissions.
“As I mentioned, we had some very specific performance sustainability targets. The solution performed about 15% better than the alternative hosting solution, which was remarkable. From a sustainability perspective, it exceeded our expectations, essentially from the perspective of compute and storage. It was a big win for us from a sustainability perspective. We’ve also been successful at leveraging the elastic capabilities of LinuxONE. Specifically, the ability to add capacities in memory and compute dynamically in real-time. We were also able to take advantage of the integrated compression technology.” - Martin Kennedy, Managing Director, Citigroup
LinuxONE is a sustainable, highly scalable, and secure system designed to meet modern-day tech needs. With up to 200 high-performance cores utilizing specialized IBM Telum processors with on-chip acceleration for encryption, AI and data compression, and up to 40 terabytes of memory, the Emperor 4 delivers massive scalability to support hundreds of workloads in a single system. LinuxONE Emperor 4 was designed to give an optimal performance to our clients and help them reduce their carbon footprint. Clients can save up to 75% in energy use for their data center.

Carbon Neutral goals are top of mind for many organizations. As the world continues its trend to analyze more data, the world is also consuming more electricity. The significant electricity use of data centers also gives rise to concerns over their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and why tech giants like IBM, Salesforce, and Apple, as well as non-tech companies like Bank of America, PayPal, and PepsiCo have taken a serious commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance initiatives.
