Consolidate multiple servers into fewer, more powerful systems — with server virtualization, create multiple virtual servers on a single physical server. Streamline the management of your computing environment and reduce maintenance and support costs by consolidating your infrastructure. We offer IBM Power Systems, System x (x86), IBM BladeCenter, and System z (Mainframe).

IBM Systems Director platform management family - supported across IBM Systems — offers a comprehensive, flexible and consistent approach to managing both physical and virtual resources, enabling you to provide higher availability of the infrastructure and lower TCO.
