IBM eServer was a family of computer servers from IBM. Announced in 2000, it combined the various IBM server brands (AS/400, Netfinity, RS/6000, S/390) under one brand.{{cite web|url=https://www.computerworld.com/article/2588821/ibm-launches-new-mainframe-amid-rebranding-effort.html|title=IBM launches new mainframe amid rebranding effort|first=Jaikumar|last=Vijayan|date=October 4, 2000|website=Computerworld}} The various sub-brands were at the same time rebranded from:

IBM RS/6000 to IBM eServer pSeries, p for POWER
IBM AS/400 to IBM eServer iSeries, i for Integrated
IBM Netfinity to IBM eServer xSeries, x for eXtended architecture (with respect to "commodity" Intel-based servers)
IBM System/390 was replaced by the 64-bit IBM eServer zSeries, z for Zero downtime.

The RS/6000 SP supercomputer line was replaced by Blue Gene platform.

Discontinuation

In 2005, IBM announced a new brand, IBM System, as an umbrella for all IBM server and storage brands. The rebranding was completed in 2006 when the IBM xSeries became the IBM System x (later the Lenovo System x).

IBM eServer zSeries became IBM System z
IBM eServer pSeries became IBM System p
IBM eServer iSeries became IBM System i
IBM eServer xSeries became IBM System x (later Lenovo System x)
IBM TotalStorage became IBM Storage
IBM eServer BladeCenter became IBM BladeCenter
IBM eServer 1350 became IBM System Cluster 1350
