Poughkeepsie… Dutchess County Executive Marcus J. Molinaro was at IBM’s Poughkeepsie location this morning for an up close look at IBM’s new flagship product – the new z13 mainframe system. The new system began shipping to clients this morning from Poughkeepsie, where it is being manufactured. The z13 system is the result of IBM’s $1 billion investment and five years of development, and includes more than 500 innovative new patents.
