IBM Rejiggers eServer i5 Pricing
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

The eServer i5 and p5 product lines may share many technologies, but their packaging and pricing for anything beyond base hardware is going to be unique, based on demand in their respective OS/400 and Unix server markets.

IBM Keeps the Wheels Turning on Express
by Dan Burger

Three years ago, IBM began formulating a campaign to stake a greater claim on the small and midsized business market.
