IBM announced the launch of the IBM Blade Center Express Bus with the goal to reach out effectively to its existing and potential customers. The BladeCenter Express Bus is equipped with the latest BladeCenter S Chassis, a "datacenter in a box" - integrating servers, storage and networking all into one box as well as the new HS22 Blade Server.
The BladeCenter "datacenter in a box" is easy to deploy and runs on standard office power making it ideal for small and medium busienss (SMB) customers looking for a one-stop IT Infra solution and for Enterprise customers looking to deploy IT for remote branches.
Migrating from older rack and blade servers to the new HS22 blade servers can result in up to 93 per cent saving on energy costs. Also, the HS22 Blade server's enhanced memory footprint makes it ideal for customers wanting to run virtualized workloads and SAP workloads. The Blade Center Express Bus will showcase via a live demonstration, the benefits of the BladeCenter family and the advantages of the IBM BladeCenter Portfolio and its management features.
IBM Blade Center Express Bus will be in Delhi for the entire month of June where in it will travel to customer locations for demonstrations. IBM will effectively leverage its robust Business Partner Network to take this innovative concept to its clients. IBM's family of BladeCenter offerings is the best way to optimise IT and build an IT Infrastructure that is open and green. IBM BladeCenter as a whole (blades and chassis combined) is purposefully designed to maximize the efficiency of power and cooling.
The IBM BladeCenter supports blade servers with Intel, AMD, Power and Cell processors with a potential cost savings in management costs of up to 44 percent. The Blade Center Express team will also demonstrate How the BladeCenter S can be configured easily in a very short time.
Commenting on this launch, Ajay Mittal, country manager, System x, IBM India/ South Asia said: "The Blade Center Express Bus is our attempt to be closer to our customers and partners and educate them on the benefits of our BladeCenter platform. This is a first of its kind initiative where we will work closely with our business partners to demonstrate the value that IBM brings especially in times where budgets are tight and customers are looking at greater return on their investments".
IBM Blade Center Express Bus is also scheduled to travel to NCR, Chandigarh and neighboring towns in the coming months. Mahesh Tomar, Head Infrastructure Solutions, Team Computers, said: "This is a great initiative by IBM to illustrate the benefits of its BladeCenter platform for us and our customers. This Initiative enables us to take a live demonstration right to the customer location and helps to bring the benefits of IBM BladeCenter to a wider set of customers. This helps our customers understand appreciate the true benefits that IBM BladCenter brings to their IT infrastructure."

IBM to invest $100 mn in mobile research
IT major IBM anounced on Wednesday that it plans to shift US$100 million investment over the next five years into a major research effort that aims to advance mobile services and capabilities for businesses and consumers worldwide.
Through this effort IBM is aiming to drive new intelligence into the underpinnings of the mobile web to create new efficiencies in business operations and people's daily lives, said a press release.
The three focus areas for IBM's research investment are: emerging market mobility, mobile enterprise enablement, and enterprise end-user mobile experiences.
"In today's interconnected world, mobile device are gradually becoming ubiquitous and helping us transcend many boundaries – geographical, economic, and social, among others," says Dr. Guruduth Banavar, director of IBM Research - India and global leader of the IBM Research mobile communication initiative.
He added that with high penetration simple user interface, and significant cost advantage for end users, mobile telephony holds the future of communication and exchange of information for the enterprise.
In a such project, IBM Research – India has established a pilot program that allows people, including farmers, repairmen, small business owners, and consumers, to post, retrieve or exchange timely information via voice on cellphones.
According to IBM's Institute for Business Value, the number of mobile users will have grown by 191 per cent from 2006 to 2011 to reach approximately one billion users.
"Mobility and the associated analytics will change virtually every enterprise business process," said Paul Bloom, chief technology officer, IBM Telecom Research. "It will change the relationship between enterprises and their customers, their employees and their partners."
IBM Research comprises approximately 3,000 scientists in eight major laboratories around the globe. IBM also has more than 20,000 software developers in 75 development labs in 18 countries. IBM has earned the most U.S. patents for 16 consecutive years, and five of its researchers have been the recipients of the Nobel Prize, the release added.
