Virtualize your IT infrastructure with IBM® System x® enterprise, rack or tower servers—the only x86 servers in the industry to include a centralized virtualization management console at no additional charge. Enterprise servers feature extra processor, memory and I/O virtualization capacity to help simplify virtual server deployments—especially when application requirements are growing or unpredictable. Rack and tower servers provide a cost-effective way to implement virtualization—even for small and mid-size businesses.
