IBM mainframe. The Computer. The workhorse of the financial world. IBM mainframes process around 90% of all global credit card transactions.

If you need exceptional performance and availability for business-critical workloads, IBM mainframe is the best choice. Thanks to the redundant architecture of the latest z17 model, it delivers eight nines of availability. Its Telum II processor includes built-in AI acceleration, capable of running language models with up to 8 billion parameters. And if that AI performance is still not enough, the system can be expanded with up to 48 IBM Spyre AI accelerator cards.

The strength of the z17 lies in high-volume, highly reliable transaction processing:

• massive I/O capacity
• high parallel processing capability
• stable, predictable performance

The z17 and z/OS together form one of the most secure platforms available:

• access control based on RACF / ACF2 / TopSecret
• full auditability and traceability
• advanced encryption (both at rest and in flight / during processing)

hardware- and OS-level isolation (LPARs, WLM, etc.)
