IBM unveils their latest innovations: the LinuxONE Emperor 5, available globally on June 18, 2025. The new system come packed with key features including improved cost efficiency, scalable AI, Confidential Containers, and HashiCorp Integration. These features will help Dynatrace clients in their hybrid cloud journey, benefiting from enhanced observability, automation, and intelligence. We look forward to supporting these IBM systems in the future, as this collaboration marks a significant milestone in helping businesses address the complexities of modern IT environments and achieve their digital transformation goals.
Unlocking the Potential with IBM LinuxONE 5
With a system structure of 208 customer cores and up to 64TB of memory—along with a simplified system I/O architecture and double networking port density per I/O drawer—this results in increased single-thread performance, total system capacity growth, and cache growth. IBM’s secure and performant Linux computing platform for data up to date boasts the following key features:
End-to-End Cyber Security and Privacy
- Deploy confidential containers, built to protect your data and applications.
- Address quantum-enabled cybersecurity risks with IBM's pioneering quantum-safe encryption.
- Scale and unify your encryption across the enterprise.
Optimized IT for Energy and Cost Savings
- Optimize your data center efficiency by consolidating workloads to save energy, space, and other operational costs.
- Lower costs by repatriating and consolidating workloads to on-premises accelerated computing.
- Increase operational efficiency for industry-leading availability, designed for 99.999999%1.
Built-in AI, Engineered for Better Outcomes
- Build AI models in the hybrid cloud and collocate for inferencing with data and applications in a trusted execution environment (TEE).
- Deploy a multiple AI model approach designed to improve prediction accuracy with Telum II, and create intelligent applications with Gen AI running on Spyre, available 4Q2025 via PCIe Card.
- Scale AI while optimizing energy efficiency.
