Book Description:
There is no better kept secret in the computer industry than the all-everything machine. Most people simply have not heard about it. Another secret is that from "time immemorial," IBM has made the finest, most architecturally elegant, most usable, most productive, and most affordable computer system of all time. That system is in its fourth incarnation as of mid 2004, and its 30-year old advanced underpinnings provide the greatest business value in the industry.. That’s an awful long time for any company to keep such a secret but don’t expect IBM to keep the secret for much longer. Big Blue appears ready to focus on claiming the proceeds from the many years of advanced development that culminated in its new all-everything machine.
That’s what this book is all about
Using a 30-year old "nobody else can afford to build one" architecture, IBM continues its technology lead by far compared with all the other server machines of today. One would have to conclude that this technology is about 30 years ahead of its competition even before you factor in that thirty years have passed from its conception and IBM’s developers have not stood still. Each and every year, more and more capability and facility is built into the all-everything machine. Now, I am not suggesting that the all-everything machine is 60 years ahead of the competition but that is where the math logically takes you.
Today, the market for this unique machine is small businesses to medium sized businesses to the largest businesses in the world. With various sized models and various costs, it fits organizations from mom and pop size to the Fortune 500. IBM calls the box a "mainframe for the masses" because it gets as big as a mainframe but it can be used effectively by a small business.
This book walks you through the story of this unique server from the very beginning until today. It presents its underlying superiority, its rapid customer acceptance, the IBM development history, and its probable future. It is a powerful and compelling story, but more importantly, the book describes in layman’s terms the technology and unique computer architecture innovations that are part of every all-everything machine shipped by IBM. When you finish this book, you will understand why IBM is proud to have built the finest computer system in the world, and you will have a good idea of the value such a machine can provide for your business.
