IBM’s iDataPlex for web 2.0 computing
By webmaster | April 24, 2008
IBM has unveiled a new server design targeting the Internet companies and Enterprise users which would help them in saving power and provide improved services to web users. Named “iDataPlex”, the system leverages IBM’s Intel based blade server technology and uses all the industry standard components including open source software like linux.
IBM said that the iDataPlex architecture cuts power requirements by 40 percent compared to traditional servers. This is because cool air is easier to pull through the new server chassis because of their shallow 15-inch depth compared to normal servers, the spokesperson said.
IBM’s iDataPlex is suitable for financial sectors, research organizations and for web service providers like online gaming, streaming vids, social networking etc.
iDataPlex servers will be available by the month of June in US & Canada only. Other countries across the world can get it by the end of this year. iDataPlex is a custom built solution so the pricing will vary depending upon the configuration.
