i5 Express: The Model 520 Could Be Just the Beginning
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
If there are two things I find annoying about the computer business, it is that server prices are always given out by vendors as bare-bones machines that can't do any useful work, and that pricing for any given customer for a real system is based as much on how well they can bargain as it is on the inherent value of the gear they are buying. While I would never advocate not telling the prices for server components, I think that the Express-style pricing bundle IBM has instituted for the eServer i5 is exemplary. READ MORE >

Leasing Trends in the Server Market
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Last week I told you about leasing trends in the IT market and explained that, despite the quickly dropping costs of servers and storage and low interest rates (which makes outright borrowing attractive), the practice of leasing IT technology is growing.

IBM Ramps Up i5 Line So That Supply Meets Demand
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
For a while there, demand for the new eServer i5s was outstripping supply. Now IBM is able to meet demand. That's a good sign, right? I surely hope so. According to internal IBM reports on the situation that I have seen, the lag between order and shipment dates for i5 machines is shrinking, and the lags IBM had in the first few weeks of shipments were nowhere near as serious as the delays it experienced with iSeries shipments in early 2000.

Why Sun and Microsoft Should Merge Java and .NET
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It is hard to believe that it has been almost a decade since Sun Microsystems announced its jazzed-up version of C++ and a portable runtime environment for it, called, respectively, Java and the Java Virtual Machine.
