IBM Power11 iSeries servers run IBM i workloads with more speed and stronger security. They use the POWER11 processor. They keep your current IBM i apps working.
Data Tech offers the full Power11 line for IBM i. Choose a small S1112. Or move up to an S1122, S1124, or E1180.
Power11 is built for IBM i shops that need more work done on fewer cores. It also helps teams that want a clean path from older Power systems.

| Model | Machine Type | Size | Max Cores | Max Memory | Storage | IBM i Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1112 | 9242-21B | 2U rack | 10 | 512 GB DDR5 | 4 NVMe U.2 slots | P05 on 4-core; 64 GB IBM i memory cap |
| S1112 | 9242-21T | Tower | 4 | 64 GB DDR5 | 4 NVMe U.2 slots | P05; compact tower for offices |
| S1122 | 9824-22A | 2U rack | 60 | 4 TB DDR5 | 8 NVMe U.2 slots | P10; native IBM i on 4-core eSCM |
| S1124 | 9824-42A | 4U rack | 60 | 8 TB DDR5 | 16 NVMe U.2 slots | P20 or P30; more I/O room |
| E1180 | 9080-HEU | 5U drawer | 256 | 64 TB DDR5 | 4 NVMe U.2 slots base | P30 or P40; up to four drawers |
Exact IBM i limits depend on processor feature, software tier, and PTFs. Confirm the build before you order.
The S1112 is the small Power11 system. It fits branch offices, small IBM i shops, and edge sites.
It is a simple step up from older P05 systems. You keep a small license tier. You gain faster cores and NVMe flash.
The S1122 is a dense 2U server. It suits small and midsize IBM i shops that need more cores in a short rack.
Use it to combine older Power9 or Power10 boxes. It is also a good fit when floor space is tight.
The S1124 gives you more memory and more disk bays than the S1122. It is built for larger IBM i and mixed workloads.
Choose this model when you need more I/O, more flash, or a higher IBM i software tier.
The E1180 is the large Power11 system. It is made for heavy IBM i, AIX, and Linux work that must stay online.
Scale one node at a time. Add memory, cores, and I/O as the workload grows.
Every Power11 iSeries server shares the same core design. The difference is size, memory, and I/O.
Power11 iSeries servers are built to run IBM i. They also run AIX and Linux when you need mixed partitions.
IBM i rules can change by model. The S1112 4-core build stays in the P05 software tier. IBM i memory on that system is capped at 64 GB. The S1122 supports native IBM i on the 4-core eSCM option. Always check firmware and IBM i support for the exact feature codes.
Many IBM i shops still run older Power servers. Power11 helps you keep the same apps. You move to faster cores, faster memory, and NVMe flash.
