IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper 5: AI in your private cloud

A high-density enterprise Linux platform that unifies data, applications and AI on a single secured and scalable system, for mission-critical workloads and hybrid cloud.

IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper 5 is a high-density, enterprise Linux platform that unifies data, applications and AI on a single secured and scalable system, designed for mission-critical workloads and hybrid cloud environments.

What is new for AI

  • On-chip AI acceleration with the IBM Telum II processor, so models score transactions as they happen.
  • IBM Spyre Accelerator cards for larger AI workloads, including assistants and agents.
  • Agentic AI next to the data. Agents orchestrate workflows close to the transactions they depend on, which helps when regulation makes external AI services hard to use with sensitive data.

What stays the same

  • Thousands of workloads consolidated in a single rack, with less power and space
  • Built-in confidential computing with IBM Secure Execution for Linux
  • A platform IBM designs for 99.999999% availability
  • An open ecosystem: Linux, Red Hat OpenShift, OpenStack and Ansible
