See how OpenPOWER momentum is going global! Our European members had plenty to share during the first ever OpenPOWER Summit Europe!

1. OpenPOWER
Summit Europe
Barcelona | October 27, 2016
A recap of Day One

2. Today was our first ever
OpenPOWER Summit in
Europe, and there was
electricity in the air!

3. We’re very excited to have
our first ever OpenPOWER
Summit in Europe. We’re here
and really excited to show
you what we’re doing on the
continent.
CalistaRedmond
President
OpenPOWER Foundation

4. And all anyone could talk
about was how
OpenPOWER continues
to drive innovation in the
data center.

5. We’re no longer content to look at
historical information. In fact, we’re not
always content to look at information
as it’s happening. We want to look at
predictive information that can impact
us strategically going forward with our
business.
CalistaRedmond
President
OpenPOWER Foundation

6. OpenPOWER is the
most significant
‘agent provocateur’
in a stagnant world!
Fabrizio Magugliani

7. It’s that particular movement where it’s
not only the right thing to do but also the
higher performing thing. It’s a balance of
openness, control, and building your
own solution. OpenPOWER is the only
organization offering this.

CEO,Kolab
Founder, FreeSoftwareFoundation Europe

8. And we heard from
members who are already
seeing amazing
performance with their
OpenPOWER use cases

9. We’re very happy to be collaborating
with multiple OpenPOWER members
like IBM, NVIDIA, Micron, and Xilinx.
These partners are all contributing to
the mission of the Barcelona
Supercomputing Center, including
our IBM-BSC Deep Learning Center.

10. One of the things we couldn’t really
do with the BlueGene generation of
hardware was have the flexibility to
deploy things like Hadoop and
Spark, but with POWER8, we can.

12. Already we’ve seen a number of
customers who are ready to
move to POWER.
We’re investigating machine
learning, big data, and DBaaS

15. Including our exciting new
CAPI Storage, Network,
and Analytics
Programming Framework,
or CAPI SNAP! It makes it
easier than ever for
organizations of all sizes
to adopt CAPI
acceleration.

16. We see the CAPI SNAP capability
being used to initially boost or
enable rich real-time analytics and
stream processing in variety of
increasingly Machine to Machine
driven use cases.
