IBM  unveiled its System z9 mainframe, the first in a new generation of machines focused on easing security and systems management, company executives said Tuesday.

At a wide-ranging event in New York, under the three themes of openness, virtualization and collaboration, Big Blue also debuted Virtualization Engine 2.0 and talked up the company's plans to establish an industry community based on BladeCenter, dubbed Blade.org.

"We have to collaborate much more broadly with others in the industry and with our clients," said Bill Zeitler, senior vice president and group executive for IBM's systems and technology group. He hosted a customer panel where IT managers stressed their need for IT vendors to ensure their products interoperate well.
