The package is designed to give small and mid-sized iSeries businesses the same resiliency and high availability enjoyed by larger companies, according to the company.
The product comes on the heels of IBMs announcement last month that it was re-energizing the iSeries line with new servers equipped with IBMs suite of enterprise software, including Lotus Quickplace, WebSphere and Tivoli management products. In addition, some new models will feature what IBM calls On/Off Capacity On Demand, a new technology that enables users to switch processors on and off for a fee. In addition, several servers will feature IBMs 64-bit Power4 chips.
