LinuxONE servers aim to reduce energy consumption

Technnology giant IBM unveiled the next generation of its LinuxONE server, a highly scalable Linux and Kubernetes-based platform, designed to deliver scalability to support thousands of workloads in the footprint of a single system. According to IBM, the IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 features capabilities that can “reduce clients’ energy consumption.” For example, consolidating Linux workloads on five IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 systems instead of running them on compared x86 servers under similar conditions can reduce energy consumption by 75%, space by 50%, and the (carbon dioxide equivalent) CO2e footprint by over 850 metric tons annually.
