American Mortgage Network, a wholesale mortgage bank serving mortgage brokers nationwide out of San Diego, has launched IBM's eServer iSeries server to add capacity and flexibility for its mortgage broker customers."With the iSeries platform, we have made a substantial investment to help increase efficiency, speed, and reliability," said Randall Myres, AmNet's senior vice president and chief information officer. "We now have virtually unlimited scalability to handle more loan volume as we open new branches and expand existing locations." IBM's eServer iSeries product family is an integrated, flexible server that is used for information technology consolidation and running mission-critical electronic business applications. The iSeries servers can simultaneously run multiple operating systems (OS/400, Microsoft Windows, and Linux) and applications all in one centrally managed server, according to IBM.
