IBM Power S1012 Technical Overview and Introduction

Abstract

This IBM Redpaper publication is a comprehensive guide that covers the IBM Power S1012
(9028-21B) which is an entry level server in the IBM Power10 Scale Out Server line. Like the
other Power10 Scale Out Servers, the Power S1012 uses IBM Power10 processor-based
technology and supports IBM AIX®, IBM i, and Linux (including Red Hat OpenShift).
The Power S1012 is especially suited for use in small IBM i environments, small database
environments and as an Edge computing device running various AI workloads. While the Power
S1012 is designed as an entry level system, it still retains the benefits provided by the IBM
Power10 chip for reliability, security and enhanced performance.
One unique feature of the Power S1012 is the support of industry standard DIMMs in its
memory configuration. In addition the system supports up to four internal NVMe drives for
internal storage and four PCIe Gen5 PCIe slots to provide high performance connections to
your users and other data sources.
This publication is intended for the following professionals who want to acquire a better
understanding of IBM Power server products:
– IBM Power customers
– Sales and marketing professionals
– Technical support professionals
– IBM Business Partners
– Independent software vendors (ISVs)
This paper is designed to complement the other IBM Redbook publications describing the
Power10 server line. This information will also be integrated into the existing IBM Power
S1014, S1022s, S1022, and S1024 Technical Overview and Introduction, REDP-5675.
