South Point Systems was established to facilitate customized business solution software to small and medium sized companies in the United States and is proud to fill this need through our membership in IBM PartnerWorld for Developers. We offer retail software packages developed to run on the "IBM eServer iSeries" that assist clients in their accounting, inventory, and human resource management.

Small and midsized companies want to focus on their business and not their IT infrastructure. South Point Systems can help reduce the complexity, help simplify your IT infrastructures and potentially help reduce your total cost of ownership. We realize that it's not just the initial price of your system; it's what it costs over time that really matters. Count on South Point Systems, Inc and IBM to offer advanced, forward-thinking technologies designed to reduce complexities and costs. Like the IBM eServer iSeries, it provides fast, reliable and highly secure ways to help you simplify you IT environment by reducing the number of servers and associated staff required to help you save money and reinvest in growing your business.

We have services and financing to help you succeed as well, all available through your IBM Advanced Business Partner.

Server Consolidation, combined with the open source community, iSeries, Linux, and Windows Integration can reduce Total Cost of Ownership and increase Return on Investment for your company. With industry leading technology, self-managing and self-optimizing features, IBM ™ and IBM TotalStorage® can help your business thrive in an on demand world.

Many small and midsized businesses run Microsoft Windows based applications on multiple Intel processor-based servers. To help you simplify your IT infrastructures, enhance manageability and boost productivity, IBM eServer iSeries family servers offer two options for consolidating Intel® processor-based servers: attaching external IBM eServer xSeries® servers using Integrated xSeries Adapters (IXA) or installing the Integrated xSeries Server (IXS) directly inside the IBM eServer i5 server. With these options, you can benefit from both the security and reliability of IBM eServer i5 servers and the flexibility to run Windows-based applications on the same system.

The virtualization capabilities of the IBM eServer i5 server also allow you to share disks, tapes and DVDs with Windows based servers—making the eServer i5 the central storage and backup/recovery server. The advanced IBM eServer i5 storage architecture can provide more flexibility than conventional Windows based server implementations, in which dedicated disk drives are typically attached to every server and a network administrator must manage each server's capacity separately. With the IBM eServer i5 server, all disks can be managed as a single pool of RAID-5 or mirrored, protected storage—helping to improve productivity by simplifying data administration and boosting storage utilization rates.
