POWER was an IBMoperating system enhancement package that provided spooling facilities for the IBM System/360 running DOS/360 or retrofitted with modified DOS/360. Upgrades, POWER/VS and POWER/VSE were available for and the IBM System/370 running DOS/VS and DOS/VSE respectively. POWER is an acronym for Priority Output Writers, Execution processors and input Readers.
The product
POWER was an operating system enhancement available for DOS/360, DOS/VS, and DOS/VSE, and came packaged with some third party DOS-based operating systems. International Business Machines released POWER in 1969 following a public introduction at the IBM Wall Street Data Center.
It 'spooled' (queued) printer and card data, freeing programs from being dependent upon the speed of printers or punched card equipment.
POWER competed with non-IBM products, namely DataCorp's The Spooler and SDI's GRASP. Unlike the other products, POWER required a dedicated partition.
It allowed a single printer (1403/2311), punch (2520, 2540) or reader (2540, 2501) to be shared by two or more processing partitions. Input data was asynchronously loaded and directed to the proper partition by Job class. Output was directed to disk and stored there - then directed to a printer or punch by the writer type, (PRT, PUN), Job Class, Priority and form code. This was provided in PRT and PUN control cards in the input stream. Once the operator put the proper form in the printer/punch and told power to start (G PUN or G PRT on the console) the device would continue until no more output of that type was available. When a new form was encountered it would alert the operator to change forms and wait for the next go command.

This video is for serious Power Techies only. If you are not a serious Power Techie, please watch the other two YouTube Videos on the E1080 from me (Nigel Griffiths), which are both 14 minutes long.
Nigel shows you a Early Ship Program machine. ESP machines are for testing before IBM ships the servers out from the Generally Available (GA) date).
The Power10 Enterprise E1080 is installed and dismantled to take a 100 pictures showing you all the main parts. You will see many things that most computer people never get to see - even if you have many of these large servers in their computer room. Only the service engineers get to see these details.
I hope this demystifies the technology and explains may of the terms. This should help is you are architecting or designing solutions, configuring a E1080 or installing it.
It also includes HMC details and cabling up a four CEC Node machine.
Note: This is an Early Ship Program E1080 - a GA E1080 will be slightly different.
For example:
1) Missing - safe and other labels on the top of the server and inside.
2) Missing - servers did not include a front cover panel.
3) Different - The GA servers has up to four NVMe SSD drives at the back (this E1080 had 2 wider devices)
4) Missing - rack rails.

I hope this demystifies the technology and explains may of the terms. This should help is you are architecting or designing solutions, configuring a E1080 or installing it.
It also includes HMC details and cabling up a four CEC Node machine.
Note: This is an Early Ship Program E1080 - a GA E1080 will be slightly different.
For example:
1) Missing - safe and other labels on the top of the server and inside.
2) Missing - servers did not include a front cover panel.
3) Different - The GA servers has up to four NVMe SSD drives at the back (this E1080 had 2 wider devices)
4) Missing - rack rails.
Note: I have retired from IBM but I am still interesting is supporting and helping nmon and njmon users. Please use [email protected] from now on.
It’s likely you have heard of IBM Power Systems, but if you are just getting started in data organization or are deploying the very first AI-based application in your company, there are some things you should know.

IBM Power Systems Power10 server with a HMC R10 software being used to create a virtual machine with CPU, RAM, network, storage and virtual DVD and then installing AIX 7.3.
This video is 18 minutes due to explaining what is happening.
But in practice it takes only 5 minutes plus a 10 minute gap in the middle to allow the AIX packages to install = just long enough for a cup of English breakfast tea and 2 donuts.

IBM Power® Systems clients who have typically relied upon on-premises-only infrastructure can now quickly and economically extend their Power IT resources onto IBM Power Systems Virtual Servers. Avoid the large capital expense or added risk when migrating your essential workloads.
IBM Power Systems Virtual Servers are colocated and connected with IBM Cloud™, integrating your IBM AIX® and IBM i capabilities. That means you get fast, self-service provisioning, flexible management both on premises and off premises, and access to a stack of enterprise IBM Cloud services — all with pay-as-you-use billing that lets you easily scale up and out.
My colleague Yefei prepared this ~3mins intro for you.
"Session 114 - IBM Power is trusted to securely provide infrastructure virtualization services on IBM Power systems to the most critical business applications.
IBM Turbonomic is trusted to automate the safest and most trustworthy application resourcing decisions across Hybrid Application Infrastructure, assuring performance, maintaining compliance and delivering responsible efficiencies at scale.
Bring the two together drives down the cost and increases the value of IBM Power while continuing to assure the security and performance trusted by IBM customers.
Join our PM and Engineers as we dive deep into the private preview capabilities offered by IBM Turbonomic to IBM Power users today, demonstrating total visibility across all LPARs on all Power Systems and recommended actions to optimally size LPARs. We also share some of the features being considered beyond the initial integration release and invite you to participate in the private preview program."
POWER was an IBMoperating system enhancement package that provided spooling facilities for the IBM System/360 running DOS/360 or retrofitted with modified DOS/360. Upgrades, POWER/VS and POWER/VSE were available for and the IBM System/370 running DOS/VS and DOS/VSE respectively. POWER is an acronym for Priority Output Writers, Execution processors and input Readers.
The product
POWER was an operating system enhancement available for DOS/360, DOS/VS, and DOS/VSE, and came packaged with some third party DOS-based operating systems. International Business Machines released POWER in 1969 following a public introduction at the IBM Wall Street Data Center.
It 'spooled' (queued) printer and card data, freeing programs from being dependent upon the speed of printers or punched card equipment.
POWER competed with non-IBM products, namely DataCorp's The Spooler and SDI's GRASP. Unlike the other products, POWER required a dedicated partition.
It allowed a single printer (1403/2311), punch (2520, 2540) or reader (2540, 2501) to be shared by two or more processing partitions. Input data was asynchronously loaded and directed to the proper partition by Job class. Output was directed to disk and stored there - then directed to a printer or punch by the writer type, (PRT, PUN), Job Class, Priority and form code. This was provided in PRT and PUN control cards in the input stream. Once the operator put the proper form in the printer/punch and told power to start (G PUN or G PRT on the console) the device would continue until no more output of that type was available. When a new form was encountered it would alert the operator to change forms and wait for the next go command.
