IBM sharpens Power7 blades
,----[ Quote ]
| The Power7-based blade servers can also run Red
| Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, which was just tweaked
| two weeks ago to support the Power7 chips as
| well as all the new x64 processors from Intel
| and AMD. Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
| 10 SP3 will support the new Power7 blades, but
| you're going to have to wait until SP1 to get
| SLES 11 for these machines.

Big Blue juices OS formerly known as 400
,----[ Quote ]
| In conjunction with the launch of Power7-based
| blade servers this week, IBM is also delivered a
| long-awaited upgrade to its proprietary i For
| Business operating system (formerly known as
| OS/400), with i 7.1 bringing native XML and
| encryption capabilities to the integrated
| database management system embedded in the OS.
| IBM is also adding features to i 7.1's compiler
| tools that allow them to create applications
| without using the legacy green-screen protocols
| that have defined IBM midrange systems for more
| than 40 years.

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
