PeopleSoft and IBM announced the general availability of a new Solution Edition eServer i5 550 server configured for PeopleSoft World.
The new server is the first IBM i550 to be customized for a specific software vendor. It is offered at a 24 percent savings over the standard i550 Enterprise Edition when purchased with PeopleSoft World products, support, or service.
“With the release of the IBM eServer i550 Solution Edition for PeopleSoft, IBM and PeopleSoft continue our commitment to providing mid-sized businesses with powerful new hardware and software solutions at affordable prices,” said Mike Borman, general manager, IBM eServer iSeries. “Our new server offerings will help PeopleSoft customers focus on their business objectives rather than on their IT environment.”
Announced in August 2004, IBM’s eServer i5 550 — a new POWER5 system — is a low-cost, high-powered server that enables mid-market companies to more easily and quickly simplify their IT environment by integrating applications across diverse operating systems.
The Solution Edition i550 for PeopleSoft is configured to optimize the operation of PeopleSoft World applications. Customers will benefit from solutions that are pre-integrated, pre-tuned, and pre-tested.
“PeopleSoft and IBM are committed to delivering our customers unparalleled value, ease of use, and flexibility,” said Dave Siebert, general manager and group vice president of PeopleSoft World. “The combination of PeopleSoft software and IBM technology delivers industry-leading reliability and system availability, lowering the overall Total Cost of Ownership and enhancing our joint customers’ ownership experience.”
The Solution Edition i550 for PeopleSoft World includes one license of i5/OS, one IBM Enterprise enablement feature, an integrated xSeries server, 40 seats of WebSphere Portal Express Plus, additional processor activation, DB2 Query Manager, and a SQL developer toolkit. It also includes a service voucher for AIX, Linux, Windows integration, or WebSphere.
