Power Systems is a family of waiter computers from IBM that are based on its Power processors. It was created in 2008 as a fusion of the System p and System one product lines .
history [edit ]
IBM had two distinct POWER- and PowerPC-based hardware lines since the early 1990s :
After the introduction of the POWER4 processor in 2001, there was short difference between both the “ p ” and the “ one ” hardware ; the lone differences were in the software and services offerings. With the initiation of the POWER5 processor in 2004, even the product count was synchronized. The System i5 570 was virtually identical to the System p5 570.

In April 2008, IBM formally merged the two lines of servers and workstations under the same name, Power, [ 2 ] and late Power Systems, with identical hardware and a choice of operating systems, software, and service contracts, [ 3 ] based once on a POWER6 architecture. PowerPC line was discontinued. With Release 8 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, IBM has completed passage of POWER8 and POWER9 servers to little-endian mode for Linux. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] AIX and IBM one continue to run in big-endian mood.
