Tech company IBM (NYSE: IBM) today unveiled a number of major additions to its Flex System portfolio.

The offerings combine the latest server technology with new virtualization, networking and management tools, allowing clients to consolidate their existing IT infrastructures and reduce operating costs.

This will help clients use smaller data center environments to deploy, manage and secure increasingly larger clouds, says the company.

According to IBM, these additional Flex Systems products deliver the features that provide clients with the choices they need as they seek to reduce costs and invest in technologies that provide future scalability.
