IBM‘s Watson supercomputer outperformed humans in the televised game show “Jeopardy.” Now the company is moving some of its underlying technologies from the supercomputer into new entry-level servers.

The company’s new Power Express servers announced on Tuesday will integrate some hardware and software elements derived from Watson. The servers start at US$5,947, and IBM is targeting the new products at businesses with over 100 employees.

The new Power Express 710, 720, 730 and 740 servers include IBM‘s Power7+ chips, which were introduced in October. By lowering the price of the servers, IBM hopes to take on rivals like Hewlett-Packard and Dell, which sell large volumes of commodity servers based on x86 chips.

With Watson technologies, companies can use the new servers to analyze warehouses of data, and to answer complex queries with high levels of confidence. The technologies will provide insights into structured and unstructured data at a cheaper cost, said Steve Sibley, director of Power Systems offering management at IBM.
