NorCom Technology AG and IBM Deutschland GmbH are extending their cooperation to NorCom's new product NCAppliance, which is based on the IBM Blade Center Technology.

IBM is responsible for the mass storage device as well as for the computing power while NorCom is adding the management and application software which is tailored to media customers' individual requirements. NorCom is also
