OpenPOWER Innovate Full Stack Solutions leveraging a community

The goal of the OpenPOWER Foundation is to create an open ecosystem, using the POWER Architecture to share expertise, investment, and server-class intellectual property to serve the evolving needs of customers.

– Opening the architecture to give the industry the ability to innovate across the full Hardware and Software stack • Simplify system design with alternative architecture • Includes SOC design, Bus Specifications, Reference Designs, FW OS and Open Source Hypervisor • Little Endian Linux to ease the migration of software to POWER – Driving an expansion of enterprise class Hardware and Software stack for the data center – Building a complete ecosystem to provide customers with the flexibility to build servers best suited to the Power architecture

4 OpenPOWER, a catalyst for Open Innovation

• Moore’s law no Open Development • Rich software longer satisfies open software, open hardware ecosystem performance gain • Spectrum of power • Growing workload Collaboration of servers demands thought leaders • Multiple hardware • Numerous IT simultaneous innovation, options multiple disciplines consumption models • Derivative POWER • Mature Open Performance of chips software ecosystem POWER architecture amplified capability

Feeds back … resulting in client choice

OpenPOWER is an open development community, using the POWER Architecture to serve the evolving needs of customers.
