Overview
This 4 day event will be the place to learn about POWER7® processor-based systems, software and solutions for companies of all sizes. The event will contain technical sessions, covering Power Systems, AIX, IBM i, Storage and Linux. This is a key opportunity to listen to NDA sessions and learn all about the exciting new features included in our Hardware and Software portfolio. You can meet and question the experts in dedicated sessions and interact with your peers.
Find out how new high-end offerings redefine computing to address the needs of a smarter planet – large scale business analytics and databases, high-volume transaction processing, and consolidation to exponentially lower costs.
Get up to speed on new Express® systems and solutions for midsize businesses that offer attractively priced servers and upgrades, integrated mission-critical solutions, and proven capabilities to simplify server rooms while positioning companies for future growth.
This event offers attendees an intense, consolidated focus on how to reduce operation costs, simplify the IT environment, access current and upcoming solution providers and leverage the newest technology innovation – virtualization with the IBM POWER7™ technology.
Sessions will extensively cover a broad range of Power Systems topics, multiple training levels (beginner to advance), best practices, solution center/expo and certification testing.
Why attend? A new category of system emerges
A new category of system emerges!
The time has come for a new breed of system to deliver IT at the speed of business:
- It’s a smarter computing approach. A new category. Expert integrated systems combine the flexibility of general purpose system, the elasticity of cloud and the simplicity of an appliance tuned to the workload – fundamentally changing both the experience and economics of IT.
- Expert integrated systems will dramatically speed the deployment of new IT processes and services and reduce many of the risks and inefficiencies that are inherent in today’s fixed, deterministic IT solutions.
The excitement is building.

IBM Executives give these perspectives
Attending IBM Power Systems Technical Symposium will be your opportunity to talk to the experts and take a deep dive into the emergence of a new category of system referred to as "expert integrated systems".
Additionally, if you did not get a chance to attend the IBM Power Systems Technical University in 2011, the IBM Technical World for Smarter Computing in April is a great opportunity for you to update and refresh your skills. This shorter version of the IBM Power Systems Technical University focuses on smarter computing implementation, recent product updates, as well as, key topics across the Power Systems platform. By co-locating the IBM Power Systems and System z Technical Symposia with the inaugural IBMSmartCloud Symposium you can attend sessions at all three events for the price of one.
