Tab navigation

With IBM BladeCenter and i, customers can realize innovation with proven 6th generation POWER™ technology for enhanced performance, efficiency and reliability; cut costs and consolidate workloads with leadership virtualization as a built-in feature; go green with better energy management by using EnergyScale™ technology; and manage growth, complexity and risk with the flexibility of IBM BladeCenter technology. With blade servers customers can consolidate their Power servers and Intel processor-based servers into a single chassis, leveraging the management, space, and power savings provided by IBM BladeCenter solutions.

For i customers, IBM offers the i Edition Express for BladeCenter S which is an extremely attractive offering that combines a BladeCenter Chassis, a POWER blade, and IBM i at a price that is similar to an entry Power 520 server with i. The solution also supports the consolidating of x86 servers onto x86 blades in the same chassis.
