Tongues Wag About Future eServer i5 Announcements
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The ink is hardly dry on the promotional materials for the new eServer i5 Model 520 and Model 570 servers IBM launched last week, and people are already talking about the future Power5-based "Squadron" servers that Big Blue has slated for later this year. While the two Squadrons announced last week are a good beginning, they do not yet constitute a product line.

High Availability
That's Affordable, Reliable, Easy-to-Use
State-of-the-art high availability isn't as expensive and complex as you think. Not only does Echo2 cost about half of other solutions, it is so dependable, automated and self-managing that monitoring of the system usually takes less than an hour a day, and production-to-backup switchovers can be reliably accomplished in minutes.
