PureSystems consist of high-density boxes configured by IBM with x86 or Power processors, storage, and network connections all wired and ready to install in a data center in hours rather than months.

This type of battery has an unusually high energy density, which means the units can be smaller and thus lighter for a given amount of power than traditional batteries.

We're resigned to the fact that the constantly increasing power demands of modern gadgets will always outstrip slow increases in the energy density of batteries: however, high energy density is not the only factor that goes into making a good battery.
