Penguin Encounter

IBM Power Systems run industry-standard Linux from Red Hat,

SUSE or Canonical. Linux exploits the advanced hardware and

software capabilities of POWER8 technology, which provides

economic advantages that scale as your business grows.

Why Linux on Power?

• Consolidate to fewer servers

• Double the performance for Java-based solutions

• RAS and the Power to choose – Big Endian & Little Endian

• Range of computational Power that’s industry proven

• End-to-end support





JULY 23 at 10am - 12:30pm at the ATLANTA AQUARIUM.

The Open Power Foundation will be described and why IBM believes this open strategy will deliver more and faster innovation and benefits for customers.

The performance advantages and benefits of IBM's Power8 Linux servers will be discussed.

Cool off with lunch and spend time with the penguins!




The agenda will include:

     *   Calista Redmond - Director, OpenPOWER Global Alliances - OpenPower Foundation
     *   Jim Pinto - Business Unit Executive, Power Scale Out - Why Linux on Power?
     *   Key ISV Solutions and Demos (working to finalize participating ISV's)
     *   Lunch and Penguin Exhibit

NOTE: IBM is interested is speaking for ALE about the use of Linux in all of their business and how they leverage their Linux expertise to support their customer base. Not as tech-heavy but a good use-case talk with maybe some networking.

gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his

own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
