IBM Power Systems is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) system that contains 8 threads or over per core. This processor performs super-fast due to the RISC algorithm technology than any other Intel-based hardware (e.g., Dell, HPE, Cisco).
In Intel, there are only 2 or 4 threads per core and it performs according to CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer).
IBM Power system is a sustainable, reliable and obviously costly solution compared to any other Intel-based solution.
Generally, IBM Power system is used in mission-critical systems.
Hi, simple and short if you want to learn more and more about computing then go with IBM and if you want to just deploy and move on then use Dell.
Dell has its own technologies and IBM has its own. All VM (Hana and other technologies) come after computing. If you know how computers compute technology you will do your best in this computing world and it's also good for your career.

IBM Power comes with virtualization integrated (PowerVM), highly optimized (practically with no performance impact) - no need for VMWare, HyperV etc.
For database it is the recomended platform - even is Hana, Oracle (best combination with AIX) or DB2 (DB2 for me is the most autonomous database that you can have).
The downside of IBM Power could be the lack of support for Windows and the initial cost.
