IBM announced yesterday that it has launched two new Linux-only mainframe servers, one designed for large enterprises and one for mid-size businesses.

The severs include LinuxONE Emperor for large enterprises and Rockhopper for mid-size businesses. IBM said LinuxONE Emperor can scale up to 8,000 virtual machines or thousands of containers, which would be the most for any single Linux system.

I'm pretty sure that's a picture of one of their zEnterprise systems specifically the z13.

Which I realized shortly after posting. The lady working the booth assured me it was the same machine as the one downstairs. It was not, I could read more.
