,----[ Quote ]
| Mobility is implemented in the POWER6 chip, hardware and its associated 
| firmware, the feature is operating system independent, allowing the movement 
| of AIX or Linux operating systems and associated running workloads. For 
| instance, using Live Partition Mobility customers will be able to dynamically 
| consolidate UNIX or Linux workloads -- without interruption -- onto fewer 
| servers during off-peak times, allowing them to turn off computers and save 
| energy.
