Google leveraging POWER via the OpenPOWER Foundation

The OpenPOWER Foundation's chairman Gordon MacKean

said, “The projects feeding the innovation pipeline to date will

greatly enhance the performance of the next generation of

servers by eliminating system-level bottlenecks.” -- Datacenter

Dynamics

"Power will be as much a Google product as an IBM product and

engineering companies like Google tend to favor technology they

have created over that created by others, giving Power an inside

track against Intel, " wrote analyst Rob Enderle, of the Enderle

Group. -- Virtualization Review

Security Enhancements

• Power 8 in-core Cryptographic Performance Acceleration

– Support within the processor itself, no additional products or HW required

– “Automatic” performance acceleration for certain cryptographic algorithms

AES & SHA-2 message digest

– Does not support “cryptographic key” storage

Certain customers will still need the 4765 Cryptographic Coprocessor

– Performance gains will be realized in support such as:

SSL (Secure Socket Layer)

VPN (Virtual Private Network)

Software Tape Encryption

Customer applications that use the Crypto Services APIs

• Enhance both FTP and TELNET to support authenticating with Kerberos (SSO)

– Kerberos authentication and Enterprise Identity Mapping integrated in FTP &

TELNET

– Integrates into the IBM i SSO application suite

– FTP client and server support

– Telnet client and server support
