IBM Launches New IxA Cards to Link to Nocona Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

After weeks and weeks of announcements concerning its eServer i5 and p5 products lines, IBM took something of a hiatus last week to focus on the LinuxWorld trade show in San Francisco and the launch of the 64-bit Xeon "Nocona" processors from Intel. However, there is an iSeries slant to these announcements, since IBM did launch a new Integrated xSeries Adapter (IxA) card that can be used with the new Intel servers. READ MORE >

 

Novell Takes On Red Hat with SuSE Enterprise Server 9
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

SuSE would have undoubtedly got its implementation of the Linux 2.6 kernel out the door without the assistance of Novell, which acquired SuSE late last year. But the combination of SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, which was announced last week at the LinuxWorld trade show in San Francisco, and the worldwide Novell training and support machine gives SuSE an even chance of competing with rival Red Hat in the corporate Linux arena.

IBM Changes More iSeries, i5 Prices
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

A new product line is a very disruptive thing, but the eServer i5 line launch is perhaps even a bit more tricky because of the need to align pricing with the eServer p5 servers that are based on the same Power5 platform and IBM's desire to do better in selling OS/400 servers during the third quarter than it did during the second quarter, when sales were down 28 percent. To that end, IBM tweaked iSeries and i5 prices yet again, at the end of July. READ MORE >

 

Mad Dog 21/21: 0110 Nights and a Night
by Hesh Wiener

The collection of tales variously called A Thousand Nights and a Night, The Arabian Nights, or A Thousand and One Nights is not one book but many, a compendium of folklore with written roots reaching back to the ninth century. The cultural sources of the stories flow from ancient India, Persia, Egypt, and various long-lost Arabian Empires. But The Nights is as modern as today in America or tomorrow in China. It is widely imitated. In fact, marketing strategy in the computer industry is based on The Nights model, with one key exception. READ MORE >
