IBM just shared news about their fresh z17 computer. This giant machine comes packed with AI brainpower throughout its hardware and software parts. The company built a new Telum II chip that lets the z17 do much more than its older brothers could. Business users can check every money move as it happens live. Companies will run half as many AI tasks each day compared to the last model. The z17 helps with over 250 different jobs, like checking loan risks, running chat robots, looking at medical pictures, and stopping store theft.
Engineers spent five years making the z17 perfect. They filed more than 300 new ideas for protection at the US patent office. IBM talked with 100 different customers during design time. The z17 brings many new features to the table. Its Telum II brain works faster than before and holds 40 percent more information ready for use. This lets it handle 450 billion AI decisions daily, with answers coming back in just one-thousandth of a second. A special helper card called Spyre Accelerator will arrive later next year. This card works beside the main chip to create super-smart AI that can talk with people using company facts already stored inside.
The z17 makes life easier for computer experts through AI assistants. These helpers include Watson Code Assistant for Z and Watson Assistant for Z. For the first time ever, Watson Assistant for Z works with Z Operations Unite to find and fix problems by talking with real system data. Ross Mauri from IBM said AI only works as well as the machine running it. The z17 brings AI right into business hearts with all the needed power and storage space. Companies can use their large hidden data pools safely without spending huge money.
IBM made sure z17 fits well with other computers by connecting hardware improvements, AI software abilities, and support for open standards and tools. This gives better performance without breaking down. The company also showed a peek at z/OS 3.2, their next control system coming out third quarter of next year. This software helps AI work faster across the whole system and gives smart insights about how everything runs. It also connects with modern data systems and cloud information processing. These new skills help AI programs use more company information and predict business results better.
IBM announced Z Operations Unite today as well. This program collects important numbers and records from many places across IBM Z systems. It helps find strange behavior quickly, see what might break, and fix things faster. When used with IBM Concert, teams can connect operation facts across entire businesses. IBM Operations Unite becomes available next May. The Spyre Accelerator card, coming late next year, changes how people work with the platform. Customers can run IBM assistant programs based on Granite models right inside z17 without moving data outside, where bad things might happen. These parts work together perfectly to help companies do more work safely at large scales.
IBM z17 continues the strong safety history of these machines. New AI developments added smart protection as new dangers show up every day. Several new safety features include secrets management from HashiCorp, which IBM bought in March. IBM Vault checks who you are before letting you see secret information like certificates and passwords. With IBM Vault, customers need just one system to protect important work by managing all secret information across their computer networks. IBM plans to deliver new ways to find and sort sensitive information on the platform. This uses Telum II and natural language skills to identify and protect critical data. Also, their newest safety program called IBM Threat Detection for z/OS spots strange activities that might come from cyber attacks.
IBM gives special support for z17 users beyond just fixing things when they break. IBM Technology Lifecycle Services helps customers make their systems work perfectly and avoid risks that could stop important business operations. AI programs make fixing problems faster and improve case-fixing times. These programs are built on IBM Watson and support IBM Z systems. IBM Storage DS8000 works as part of the z17 complete package. The newest version works perfectly with IBM z17, giving companies access to critical work tasks, steady data performance, and parts that can use the latest IBM research discoveries to grow business and make money from data. Together, IBM Z and IBM Storage create modern base systems delivering protected and quick platforms for must-not-fail workloads. The IBM z17 becomes available June 18 next year. The IBM Spyre Accelerator card should arrive during the last three months of next year.
