EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,
IBM has released its latest mainframe server - a machine Big Blue claims is the result of US$1.5 billion of investment and the biggest change in its architecture for 20 years.
The industry has been anticipating the launch for some months - but here's the killer detail - the zEnterprise integrates with smaller form factor servers to create a unified system.
It only works, of course, if every new server you buy wears an IBM badge. So like Cisco's UCS, this solution might not wash well with those organisations that already invested in Dell or HP blade farms.
