IBM
ARMONK, N.Y. - 13 Apr 2010: IBM (NYSE: IBM) today added new servers, services and software to its lineup of 2010 systems designed to put a lid on the rising costs and complexities of operating modern data centers. The new offerings help clients reap the benefits of IBM’s three-year, $3 billion investment in POWER7™ systems that are ready for new workloads, such as the growing use of powerful, real-time business analytics.

They include blade servers built on IBM’s POWER7 workload-optimized systems’ design, new systems software that can reduce the deployment of workloads from weeks to minutes, and new services to remotely implement the systems, reducing costs by up to 25%.

I confess I need to read up more about this announcement, but anything IBM can do to bring further choice and innovation to the marketplace has to be a good thing. I wonder if there have been any improvements around the systems management space with their IBM Director product, I’m off to check out more, the POWER7 does sound interesting!
