In the past few years, a handful of IT vendors have begun offering a new breed of engineered systems or optimized systems designed to offer pre-bundled and pre-tested purpose-built machines that free customers from the drudgery of endless integration busywork.
Generic servers, generic storage, and generic networking will simply not be able to match the speed, power, and value of engineered systems, and the vendors currently in that space are scrambling to align with the emerging trend of richly integrated and optimized systems.

My POV: While not the answer (yet) for every question, engineered systems give strategic CIOs considerable latitude to devote more people and energy toward innovative customer-facing initiatives, and simultaneously alleviate the need for CIOs to pour so many budget dollars into low-value integration work that generates little or no competitive advantage.
With the newest addition to its engineered-systems family, the Exadata X3 Database Machine, Oracle is giving customers more justification to realize they need to move beyond the traditional and non-optimized systems of the past.

Engineered geothermal systems (EGS) are based on a related principle, but they work even in parts of the world that are not volcanically active, by drilling thousands of metres underground to mimic the design of natural steam or hot-water reservoirs.
No, Ballmer knew he needed to try something very different from what Microsoft has traditionally done, so he decided to mimic not only Oracle but also Apple in pursuing the engineered-systems approach of hardware and software designed together from the ground up.
Car systems can be engineered so that a systems failure will not result in a crash, he added.

By stringing together thousands of these so-called droplets (which measure about 50 microns across) using a custom-built 3D printer, the Oxford team believes it has engineered a "new type of material" that could eventually be used to ferry drugs throughout our internal systems to a specific target site, fill-in for damaged tissues or even mimic neural pathways via specially printed protein pores.
