'Our server's better than yours,' IBM tells Unisys

NEWS IBM has launched a modular server system which it says will be cheaper and better than the equivalent offering from Unisys. The xSeries 440 has the potential to support 16 processors and 64GB of memory, but customers can pay for the computing power as and when they need it. Big Blue has spent three years developing the server which can be used on its own to run large databases or as multiple virtual servers.
