IBM and Nortel this morning announced a joint research agreement in the telecommunications market that will focus first on a new class of blade servers. The Nortel-IBM Joint Development Center in Research Triangle Park, N.C., — which a spokesman called a “bellwether” — will make use of IBM’s consultants, technology assets, R&D and engineers to develop new products with Nortel. IBM would not say how many employees will work in the center, revealing only that the companies have an open-ended agreement that could grow and change if the partnership flourishes.
