The i5 515 and 525: IBM's Competitive Analysis
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
If the new user-priced System i 515 and 525 servers that were announced on April 10 show anything, it is that IBM is at least aware that it needs to compete against Windows-based X64 servers if it hopes to remain in the small and midrange server market. In years gone by, as each server successive AS/400, iSeries, and System i5 line has been announced, Big Blue has always compared the new generation of OS/400 or i5/OS server to the prior generations. This obviously missed the point. READ MORE >

More Details Emerge on IBM's Upcoming Power6 Server Launch
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
IBM, like most other server makers, doesn't like to talk about upcoming product launches because such talk can have an adverse effect on sales in the current quarter. That's one of the reasons why Big Blue is not talking about its upcoming Power6 server launch, and it is also why the company has done nothing to confirm or deny some of the rumors that are running around about Power6 being delayed. But if some of the sources I have heard from are right, then the Power6 launch is imminent. READ MORE >

How to Build a Less Expensive i5 Developer Workstation
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
A few weeks ago, in the wake of the announcement of the user-priced System i5 515 and 525 servers, Jim Herring, director of System i product management and business operations, and Ian Jarman, product manager of the System i product line, held a chat with the iSociety community, which is dominated by developers. And one of the questions they had is if IBM would consider creating a single-user developer workstation out of the i5 515. I think I have a better idea. READ MORE >

Mad Dog 21/21: Hearts and Minds
by Hesh Wiener
In 1991, Richard Stallman's great project, the GNU operating system, was made whole when Linus Torvalds developed the kernel, Linux, that it had lacked. The next year, there was a marriage. Henceforth, Linux, like GNU before it, was to be distributed under the General Public License (GPL), the legal arrangement that defines Free Software. Today, GNU/Linux is arguably the most popular server operating system, and the GPL is the dominant license for revealed source code software. Yet it is still not certain that there is safe place for both hearts and minds in the unfolding world of software development. READ MORE >
