IBM Eyes Desktop Server Market

Computergram International, April 8, 1999

IBM Corp is readying a very low end server to be announced early in May. The $1,000 desktop machine is based on Intel Corp's Pentium PII chips and run NT. Tikiri Wanduragala, Netfinity division manager in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) said that the machine was intended to compete with Compaq Computer Corp, Dell Computer Corp and 'no-name' servers that proliferate in the fiercely competitive and growing market for low end systems.

The new box will be IBM's first entry into that sector of the market. Its current entry-level Netfinity server costs $3000.
