IBM Power 10 Models
Every major IBM Power 10 model profiled as a structured decision record with specs, workload fit, pricing logic, and lifecycle notes.
Power 10 spans entry, scale-out, midrange, and enterprise systems. The right answer depends less on model name than on IBM i tier, current workload pressure, growth path, and whether a secondary-market or Power 11 path is cleaner.
Entry and small IBM i
S1012 and S1014 address smaller IBM i footprints, branches, edge workloads, and cost-sensitive consolidation.
Scale-out consolidation
S1022s, S1022, and S1024 cover the common IBM i, AIX, and Linux middle ground where capacity and software tier matter together.
Midrange and enterprise
E1050 and E1080 remain major installed-base systems for large memory, consolidation, and mission-critical workloads.
IBM Power S1012 (9028-21B)
A compact one-socket Power 10 system for small IBM i, edge, and branch workloads where P05/P10 economics and a smaller footprint matter.
9105-41BIBM Power S1014 (9105-41B)
A one-socket 4U or tower Power 10 server for smaller IBM i and mixed AIX/Linux workloads that need more memory and storage headroom than S1012.
9105-22BIBM Power S1022s (9105-22B)
A smaller dual-socket 2U scale-out variant for IBM i environments that need S1022-style packaging with lower core ceilings.
9105-22AIBM Power S1022 (9105-22A)
See whether the 9105-22A fits your IBM i workload before you price it. This record brings the processor options, P10 tier, memory, storage, lifecycle risk, and quote checks together.
9105-42AIBM Power S1024 (9105-42A)
See whether the 9105-42A earns its higher software tier. Compare processor options, P20 or P30 exposure, memory, storage, lifecycle risk, and Power 11 before requesting a quote.
9043-MRXIBM Power E1050 (9043-MRX)
Confirm the socket count, processor feature, capacity, lifecycle, and expansion risk before you price a 9043-MRX E1050 or compare it with Power 11.
9080-HEXIBM Power E1080 (9080-HEX)
Confirm the node count, processor feature, capacity, lifecycle, and expansion risk before you value or expand a 9080-HEX E1080.
