IBM POWER for Biosimulations
IBM Power servers deliver a winning combination of speed, flexibility, and reliability that makes them the best choice for the most demanding applications, especially for drug discovery. No server continually delivers value to your business like IBM Power does.
IBM SERVERS DON’T FAIL .. PERIOD!
IBM Power is more than a chip; it’s an entire system designed as an integrated whole for maximum reliability.
The legacy of IBM Power goes all the way back to the 1996 Mars Rover, Sojourner, whose RAD6000 processor withstood the immense stresses of space to power this historic mission. From the beginning, the foundation of IBM Power is engineering for quality.
The most reliable server on the market today is IBM Power, and the competition isn’t even close. Even the next most reliable server on the market fails 100 times as often as IBM Power.

Uptime is only part of the reliability picture. IBM Power servers are also the most secure in the business, with zero-overhead, in-memory encryption and firmware-to-OS virtualization via PowerVM to ensure that security comes with zero performance overhead.
TIME IS MONEY
A few minutes of downtime can halt business operations and immediately impact revenues. This is particularly true if an outage occurs during peak usage times or interrupts a crucial business transaction (s). The potential consequences of an unplanned outage will have a negative, domino effect on customers, business partners and suppliers.
Reliability or lack thereof, raises the risk of litigation and non-compliance with industry and government regulations. This leaves the business open to civil and criminal fines and penalties. Downtime associated with unreliable systems can also potentially damage a company’s reputation and result in lost business.
HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING FOR BIOSIMULATIONS
In addition to their history as rock-solid business machines, IBM Power servers draw on a legacy of record-setting supercomputers to deliver performance at a combination of scale and reliability unmatched by anything on x86. We benchmarked a popular open-source finite element code, OpenRadioss, against some of the leading Xeon CPUs and showed superior performance with Power10.
