For decades, IBM Z has been the unshakable backbone of mission-critical workloads across industries worldwide. In April 2025, we launched the IBM z17, empowering clients to deploy and scale AI use cases directly on-platform. This brought insights closer to the data and transactions, streamlined complex workflows, and accelerated enterprise agility in ways never before possible.
Building on that momentum, this week we introduced the IBM Spyre Accelerator on IBM z17 designed to work seamlessly with the advanced IBM Telum® II processor. Together, they form a powerful, synergistic combination that dramatically enhances AI performance on IBM Z. This pairing creates an ideal environment for running sophisticated AI models—including generative AI—right where your data lives.
