IBM plans to introduce a new bundle of hardware, software and services to help move grid computing into the mainstream.
The company's new Grid and Grow bundles, to be unveiled at the LinuxWorld expo, held this week in San Francisco, comes as grid computing is starting to mature and appeal to a rising number of businesses, said Juhi Jotwani, director of BladeCenter alliances at IBM.
"We have had over 200 successful grid engagements with customers so far," Jotwani said. "Grid computing is now seen as mature and appeals not just to large customers but also to the midmarket. Grid and Grow is for enterprises and midmarket customers looking to start with grids and that are looking for tools to help them get started."
The Grid and Grow bundles give customers a choice of hardware and software, depending on their needs and platforms.
On the hardware side, customers can choose from IBM's BladeCenter HS20 Intel-based blade servers, BladeCenter JS20 POWER-based models and LS20 AMD Opteron-based models, Jotwani said. They fit in a standard, seven-blade BladeCenter chassis or a full BladeCenter enclosure, she said.
