Is this another Name Change or just a fix in how we look at the System i and System p?
IBM Corp. is splitting up its midrange System i server division between high- and low-end models.The more powerful horses such as IBM’s System i5 570 and System i5 595 will be combined with IBM’s Unix servers (or System p) and will be called the Power Systems unit. Meanwhile, the smaller boxes will become part of a division of their own that focuses on the small and medium-sized business (SMB) market and will be called the Business Systems unit.

Interesting, I’m not sure if this is good or bad for the platform. IBM has been notoriously bad at pitching the System i, I hope it doesn’t get lost in a sea of AIX boxes.
