by Timothy Prickett Morgan
This newsletter has spent the past few weeks delving into the guts of the eServer i5 "Squadron" servers, their Power5 processors, and i5/OS V5R3. This week, I want to talk about IBM's marketing and sales plan for the platform. According to the top brass in the iSeries division, IBM is going to be pushing on several fronts to try to grow the OS/400 server business and pump up the OS/400 ecosystem on which it depends.

Price Changes, New Peripherals, and Other i5 Announcements
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Buried in the back of major announcements from IBM, like those on May 4, is a collection of price changes and peripherals announcements. While these are not usually earth-shattering, they are worth going through in order to get a complete picture of what IBM has done.

IBM Extends Provisioning Software to OS/400
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
IBM last week gave a sneak preview of a tweaked release of its Tivoli Provisioning Manager, the heart of the server provisioning software that IBM acquired when it bought Think Dynamics last year. While the original software created by Think Dynamics was predominantly made to control the provisioning of the HP-UX Unix environment, IBM will in June launch Provisioning Manager 2.1, which will itself run on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, and Windows, servers and will be able to control the provisioning of bare metal servers and logical partitions on OS/400, Unix, Linux, and Windows servers.
