IBM BladeCenter PN41

IBM BladeCenter® PN41 is a highly programmable, high-performance blade.  It's selling point is its ability to deliver Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), which is a form of computer network packet filtering that examines that data that passes through a network, which in turn enables advanced security functions, internet data mining. This high level product is targeted to governments, telecommunication, large enterprises and internet service providers. This machine is at a totally other level than the rest of the IBM BladeCenter server portfolio (IBM wouldn't even put the price of this mammoth on its site). IBM is offering this hardware in a bundle with the software of CloudShield®, a network service control and security provider.
