IBM 9043 MRU E1150 AIX Power11 Servers

IBM 9043 MRU E1150 AIX Power11 Servers

The IBM Power E1150 (9043-MRU) Power11 server is a 4U midrange enterprise system for AIX and Linux. It supports two to four Power11 processor modules, up to 120 cores, 16 TB of memory, and internal NVMe storage.

The E1150 is an AIX and Linux platform. IBM i is not supported. PowerVM, Transparent Memory Encryption, quantum-safe cryptography, and in-core Matrix Math Accelerator (MMA) capabilities are part of the Power11 design. Serial-number-preserving upgrades from supported Power10 systems are available.

Key Features of the IBM Power E1150 9043-MRU Power11 Server

  • Two to four Power11 processor modules
  • Up to 120 Power11 SMT8 cores
  • Two spare cores per socket
  • Up to 16 TB DDR5 memory
  • Up to 10 NVMe U.2 bays
  • 11 PCIe slots, 8 Gen5-capable, concurrently maintainable
  • External PCIe I/O and NVMe drawer support
  • Transparent Memory Encryption (TME)
  • Quantum-safe cryptography
  • Capacity on Demand and Power Enterprise Pools 2.0
  • Enterprise BMC (eBMC) and Titanium-class power supplies
