Weather Bureau uses Linux to cut VM licensing

,----[ Quote ]
| The Bureau of Meteorology claims to have 
| saved considerable sums on software 
| licensing by embracing open source software 
| during a server virtualisation drive.
| 
| When the Bureau of Meteorology shifted to 
| using server virtualisation, one major 
| benefit for scientists was the ability to 
| deploy individual servers for specialised 
| processing tasks.

IBM, Arctur partner to bring supercomputing to the midmarket

,----[ Quote ]
| IBM said that its iDataPlex supercomputer 
| running Linux will be capable of performing 
| approximately 10 trillion calculations per 
| second (rpeak teraflops) and is expected to 
| grow to 25 teraflops in near future. It 
| harnesses the new Intel six-core processors 
| and QDR InfiniBand in a design that 
| improves energy efficiency and cooling 
| requirements.
