The IBM Power Cyber Vault solution is designed to provide protection against cyberattacks such as data corruption and encryption with proactive immutable snapshots that are automatically captured, stored, and tested on a custom-defined schedule, IBM said. Power11 also uses NIST-approved built-in quantum-safe cryptography designed to help protect systems from harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks as well as firmware integrity attacks.
“Power11 is designed to be the most resilient server in the history of the IBM Power platform, with 99.9999% of uptime,” IBM said. “Together with zero planned downtime for system maintenance and less than one-minute guaranteed ransomware threat detection with IBM Power Cyber Vault, Power11 sets a new bar for business continuity, addressing both planned and cyber-incident-related downtime.”
IBM’s Power11 systems offer enterprise-grade reliability and cybersecurity that outpace most competing infrastructures, said Kalyani Devrukhkar, senior analyst at Everest Group. “With just 31 seconds of unplanned downtime per year, Power11 delivers near-zero outages through built-in features like live partition mobility and predictive failure analytics — capabilities that x86-based systems from Intel and AMD typically achieve only with added layers of high-availability software.”
