We have past experience with the IBM brand. We've encountered no major problems. It is a pretty generic platform but it has performed well. We no longer need to maintain our own hardware. Also, IBM offers its own products and they work efficiently.
We have adopted the system to fit our very specific and proprietary needs. It has worked quite well for us.
