| IBM, Intel to Open eServer Blade Designs |
|---|
IBM and Intel plan to open up their eServer blade platform to seed the market for future designs, the companies plan to announce Thursday.
IBM officials positioned the move as one that was necessary to grow the market from the "early adopter" phase to the "mass adopter" phase. With the specifications—which Intel Corp. and IBM plan to provide royalty-free—customers can design their own platforms around IBM's blades, executives said.
