IBM has unveiled new AI-powered capabilities for its Power platform, introducing IBM Power Autonomous Operations, an AI agent designed to continuously monitor Power systems, autonomously resolve issues, and improve system availability for mission-critical enterprise workloads. The announcement complements the recently launched IBM Bob™ Premium Package for i, which uses agentic AI to simplify application development and modernization on IBM i, broadening access for developers while accelerating innovation. Alongside these initiatives, IBM launched the Power S1112 server, which is small and powerful enough for organizations to be able to perform AI inference locally, thus providing an efficient edge computing solution. Leveraging the Power11 and IBM Power Virtual Server architecture, the new improvements feature autonomous IT technologies that can be used in operations, security, and application development.

IBM allows enterprises to operate their systems by issuing prompts in natural language, all while performing fewer routine operations. The new developments fit into IBM’s strategy of helping enterprises in the era of rapid adoption of AI as companies deploy more and more AI agents. “Enterprises should not need to choose between moving at the speed of AI and keeping their systems stable and secure,” said Hillery Hunter, General Manager for IBM Power and CTO, IBM Infrastructure. “We’re making Power increasingly self-operating, so the routine work of helping to keep systems available, optimized, and secured can happen autonomously, and our clients’ teams can spend their time on innovation instead of upkeep. That’s how a business scales AI with control and resilience.”
