Security, Sustainability and Speed: Introducing the IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 | SUSE Communities
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending SHARE 2022. It was a great experience, not only because of the incredible content, but also because it was the first live event that we were able to attend since the pandemic. Interacting with clients and partners was truly enlightening and we learned a lot about what was top of mind.
Not surprisingly, the topic of security came up in nearly every conversation.

The high-end version of the LinuxOne Emperor 4 server can scale to support tens of thousands of workloads in a single footprint, saving data center floor space by potentially replacing hundreds of x86-based servers.
