“eServer, a computing model devoted to handling e-business, was
launched today by IBM.”

“The product features mainframe-class reliability and
scalability, support of open standards for the development of new
applications, and capacity on demand for managing the demands of
e-business, according to Bill Zeitler, senior vice president and
group executive, IBM Server Group.”

Each eServer fully embraces open industry standards such as
Java, XML, HTTP, HTML and Linux. The product was created by Project

centralized IT systems into distributed high-speed networks so that
usage of servers, applications and other IT resources became
pervasive.
