The IBM "iDataPlex" system leverages IBM's blade server heritage to 
build a completely new design that:

--  More than doubles the number of systems that can run in a single IBM
    rack,
--  Uses 40 percent less power while increasing the amount of computing
    that can be done 5X, (2)
--  Can be outfitted with a liquid cooled wall on the back of the system
    that enables it to run at "room temperature" -- no air conditioning
    required,
--  Uses all industry standard components as well as open source software
    such as Linux to help lower costs.
