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
