IBM plans to unveil its second-generation BladeCenter in the US on 8 February, as it tries to keep its top spot in sales of thin but high-end servers.
IBM has sold 5,000 "blade" servers since launching its BladeCenter product less than three months ago, and the computing giant plans to announce several new, more powerful models this year, the company said.
Top server makers announced a bevy of new servers Monday as Hewlett-Packard describes its first four-processor "blade" system and IBM overhauls a mid-range product line with a new processor and a method to accommodate computing surges.
Sun Microsystems will overhaul two major components of its low-end server strategy later this month, introducing new low-end systems and detailing support for the Linux operating system.
Hewlett-Packard, the top seller of servers using x86 processors such as Intel's Xeon, has followed rival Dell with a decision to retreat from selling models using eight processors.
