Editing IBM System p (section)

==History==
The previous [[RS/6000]] line was originally a line of workstations and servers. The first System p server line was named the '''''e''Server pSeries''' in 2000 as part of the e-Server branding initiative.

In 2004, with the advent of the [[POWER5]] processor, the server family was rebranded the '''''e''Server p5'''.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Stokes|first=Jon|date=2004-07-14|title=IBM launches POWER5-based p5 server line|url=https://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2004/07/3993-2/|access-date=2020-12-11|website=Ars Technica|language=en-us}}</ref>

In 2005, following IBM's move to streamline its server and storage brands worldwide, and incorporating the "System" brand with the Systems Agenda, the family was again renamed to '''System p5'''. The System p5 now encompassed the IBM OpenPower product line.

In 2007, after the introduction of the [[POWER6]] processor models, the last rename under the '''System p''' brand dropped the p (numbered) designation.

In April 2008, IBM announced a rebranding of the System p and its unification with the mid-range [[IBM AS/400|System i]] platform. The resulting product line was called '''[[IBM Power Systems]]'''.
