POWER9
Blackbird™ provides easy, cost effective desktop access to the 14nm POWER9 processor, built on IBM OpenPOWER technology.

Blackbird™ drives the state of the art of secure computing forward. Blackbird™ gives you — and only you — full control of your machine's security. Rest assured knowing that only your authorized software and firmware are running via POWER9's secure boot features. Don't trust us? Look at the secure boot sources yourself — and modify them as you wish. That's the power of Blackbird™.

Break the rules — Blackbird™ delivers power and energy efficiency to your desktop! With support for CPUs with a TDP of 160W and under, Blackbird™ brings you the energy-sipping POWER9 CPU for daily tasks. Don't let energy concerns hold your computing back; forge ahead with Blackbird™.

OpenBMC
Like our other products, Blackbird™ ships with fully open and auditable BMC firmware, based on the Open BMC project. Gone are the days when you had to carefully isolate the buggy, insecure BMC port from threats at the firewall level. With Blackbird™, the BMC is just another Linux system that can be maintained as part of normal workflow. Find a bug or vulnerability? No problem; just patch, recompile, and install.
