IBM is set to unveil within the coming weeks a new appliance server that it has developed in collaboration with Microsoft, according to sources familiar with the company´s plans. The system, code named Pine Hill, will be aimed at Internet and application service providers.
Pine Hill is a Windows 2000-based device, but it will also include some new IBM software the company will introduce at the same time.
