The defective castblades blanks of K6 alloy are examined by means of optical, ScanningElectronMicroscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spetrum (EDS).
This new dimension in enterprise computing-- extending mainframe governance to POWER7 and System xblades integrated into the zEnterprise System architecture--was developed over the past three years with direct involvement from a team of IBM's 30 top customers, which provided direct input at every stage of the development process.
Next year, IBM plans to announce additional general purpose blades for the IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension including select IBM System x-based blades running Linux.
The IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension allows supports purpose IBM POWER7 and System x BladeCenter systems as well as blades optimized for specific workloads, such as analytics and managing Web infrastructure.
