Check out IBM POWER5, Linux and virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| Customers are moving in droves from Sun to IBM in order
| to have the flexibility to run Unix and Linux. Because
| CIO's have recognized the capabilities of IBM's midrange
| technology, IBM actually has overtaken Sun and HP in sales
| of high-end Unix servers.
|
| I can't reiterate enough the importance of being able to
| run supported versions of both Unix and Linux on IBM's
| POWER5 architecture. Scaling vertically also has many
| other data center benefits such as cutting down on
| power, cooling and the footprint necessary to house
| servers. It's all about the ROI.
