With support for both Microsoft ® and Linux ® operating systems, the application flexibility of System-x (xseries) systems is extended with the Enterprise X-Architecture blueprint.

World-class UNIX and Linux implementations from IBM  System-p5 (pseries) are the result of leading-edge IBM technologies including POWER4 and POWER4+ processors and autonomic computing features.

Built on a mainframe-inspired hardware platform and tuned for the Linux® environment, IBM ® OpenPower™ systems meet the requirements of today's clients by delivering the performance, reliability, high availability and computing power you expect from IBM—at an aggressive price. These competitively priced IBM 64-bit POWER™ servers are based on a flexible, open Linux architecture and designed to help you simplify your IT environment in today's on demand world.

IBM ® BladeCenterT: Extreme flexibility and high scalability, now supporting 2-way POWER processor-based servers and 4-way Intel® processor-based servers.

The AMD Opteron architecture uses an integrated memory controller and innovative Hypertransport technology to provide memory access and substantial I/O bandwidth at the speed of the processor. By eliminating many major bottlenecks, the e325 can deliver exceptional performance for compute-intensive applications needed for high-performance computing.

Today's e-infrastructure requires IT systems meet increasing demands, while offering the flexibility and manageability to rapidly develop and deploy new services.

IBM clustering hardware and software provide the building blocks, with availability, scalability, security and single-point-of-management control, to satisfy these needs.
