IBM working on developing blade server system for SMBs

US based tech industry giant IBM has said that they are soon going to launch blade server system for small to medium-sized businesses (SMB).

These server systems would be optimized for companies with fewer than 1,000 employees.

IBM BladeCenter product manager Scott Tease confirmed the plans and said that they would start selling these products later in 2007.

The company currently offer these products (BladeCenter chassis) to large enterprises, with each chassis capable of housing up to 14 servers.

Tease added that IBM is taking these steps to help the small businesses who wanted the same benefits as bigger companies but at a lower price.
