According to Rod Atkins, senior vice president at Systems and Technology group of IBM, the cloud and big data technologies that were initially affordable to only large enterprises will be available at affordable to the masses as well with the introduction of the Power Express 710 servers. Compared to the Itanium integrity servers of Hewlett Packard and Sparc servers of Oracle, the Power Express 710 has been competitively priced.

 

Adkins also stated that with the introduction of the new systems, IBM will pave way for the aggressive expansion of the Storage and Power systems business of the company into the foray of small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) and other growth markets.

Rich Fichera, Forrester Research analyst commented on the development that the launch of the products would be a strong signal to the customers and competitors of IBM, even though the product will not change the standing of the company much. This is an indication that the company is striving to provide better performance to the customers without giving them the room for temptation to switch to another company's product.
