'''IBM eServer''' was a [[product line|family]] of computer servers from [[IBM]]. Announced in 2000, it combined the various IBM server brands (AS/400, Netfinity, RS/6000, S/390) under one brand.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.computerworld.com/article/2588821/ibm-launches-new-mainframe-amid-rebranding-effort.html|title=IBM launches new mainframe amid rebranding effort|first=Jaikumar|last=Vijayan|date=October 4, 2000|website=[[Computerworld]]}}</ref> The various sub-brands were at the same time rebranded from: *IBM [[RS/6000]] to IBM '''eServer pSeries''', p for POWER *[[IBM AS/400]] to IBM '''eServer iSeries''', i for Integrated *IBM [[Netfinity]] to IBM '''eServer xSeries''', x for eXtended architecture (with respect to "commodity" [[Intel]]-based servers) *IBM [[System/390]] was replaced by the 64-bit IBM '''eServer zSeries''', z for Zero downtime.
The [[RS/6000 SP]] supercomputer line was replaced by [[Blue Gene]] platform.
== Discontinuation == In 2005, IBM announced a new brand, IBM System, as an umbrella for all IBM server and storage brands. The rebranding was completed in 2006 when the IBM xSeries became the IBM System x (later the Lenovo System x). *IBM eServer zSeries became [[IBM System z]] *IBM eServer pSeries became [[IBM System p]] *IBM eServer iSeries became [[IBM AS/400|IBM System i]] *IBM eServer xSeries became [[IBM System x]] (later [[Lenovo]] System x) *IBM TotalStorage became [[IBM Storage]] *IBM eServer BladeCenter became [[IBM BladeCenter]] *IBM eServer 1350 became [[IBM System Cluster 1350]]
