IBM LinuxONE

Secure, Efficient, and Built for the Future

In an era where data volumes are growing and the threat landscape changes daily, a platform is needed that can handle performance, security, and sustainability—without compromise.
IBM LinuxONE is the most modern and secure platform for business-critical Linux applications—designed to consolidate, protect, and accelerate your IT operations.

With up to 99.999999% availability, post-quantum secure encryption, and built-in AI acceleration, LinuxONE is a unique combination of innovation, efficiency, and security.

Protection at a New Level – Security and Integrity at Every Layer

Explore the entire IBM Power11 family—from compact systems to enterprise servers with AI acceleration, 99.9999% availability, and quantum-safe encryption.

LinuxONE is built with end-to-end security—from the core of the processor to the cloud.
With IBM Secure Execution, each workload is isolated at the hardware level, protecting against both external intrusions and insider threats.
The platform includes:

  • Post-quantum secure encryption – NIST-standardized protection technology against future attacks.

  • Integrated cryptographic modules for data at rest and in transit, without impacting performance.

  • Confidential computing and secure AI training that protects data even during processing.

The result: maximum privacy for data, applications, and AI models—regardless of where they run.

Performance and Efficiency – more Power, Fewer Resources

IBM LinuxONE Emperor 5 can replace up to 126 x86 servers or 5,000+ cores with a single machine—while maintaining performance.
The vertical architecture enables 80–95% resource utilization, dramatically reducing hardware needs, energy costs, and licensing expenses.

According to an independent Signal65 TCO study (2025), LinuxONE delivers:

  • 44% lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to new x86 servers.

  • 75% lower TCO compared to older x86 infrastructure.

  • Up to 94% lower software costs.

  • 65–91% lower energy consumption.

For businesses looking to reduce costs without compromising availability or security, LinuxONE is an obvious foundation.

Sustainability in Practice

LinuxONE is designed for energy-efficient operation and long lifespan.
By consolidating workloads, you reduce the data center’s power consumption, cooling needs, and space—while lowering CO₂ emissions.
The platform contributes to meeting ESG goals and sustainability strategies, with measurable savings in both energy and climate impact.

AI Built-In – not Added

With IBM Telum II processor and the upcoming IBM Spyre Accelerator, LinuxONE is truly prepared for AI.
The platform can handle 450 billion inferences per day with 1 ms response time, making it ideal for real-time analysis, AI-driven decision flows, and generative AI.

With Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), AI models can run securely and efficiently directly where the data resides—without being moved to insecure clouds or third-party platforms.

Flexibility and Modernization without Compromise

LinuxONE integrates seamlessly with Red Hat OpenShift, Ansible Automation Platform, and IBM watsonx, making it easy to:

  • Modernize applications without rewriting them.

  • Run containers, cloud services, and databases on the same platform.

  • Scale AI and data management across hybrid clouds while maintaining security.

For many companies, LinuxONE is not just a server—it’s a strategic step towards a secure hybrid cloud architecture.
