OpenPOWER is INNOVATIONOpenPOWER is OPENIt’s innovative yetproduction-oriented

OpenPOWER

is the most significant ‘agent provocateur’ in a stagnant world!

E4 is and will continue to be HW agnostic

However, our trust in building our next-gen solutions based on OpenPOWER is getting stronger by the day

WHY?BECAUSE….

OpenPOWER has all the needed technical features to behave well

It means innovation in a stagnant world

The market is looking for something different and better than x86
