Power 750: Big Bang for Fewer Bucks Compared to Predecessors
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The Power 750 might have come to market first among the Power7-based machines, but it has taken me a bit longer than usual to cook up some comparative price/performance analysis for this midrange box, which was announced in February. I have done the work for comparisons between old and new Power blades and their alternatives in the Unix and Windows market (the two platforms that really matter for i shops), and now I will begin working my way up the product line and back down again when the entry Power7 machines (710, 720, 730, and 740) and the high-end Power7 box (795) are announced on August 17.

Some Details and Thoughts About Impending Power7 Machines
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Well, I put a gun to my own head two weeks ago and guessed that the Power 710 and 720 machines being launched tomorrow would have a single Power7 processor socket with 128 GB of memory and that their companion Power 730 and 740 machines would have two sockets with 256 GB of memory. I guessed wrong, and I know this because IBM briefed resellers last week ahead of the launch (slated for tomorrow morning) and people's tongues are a-wagging. READ MORE >

Lotus Focus and Some Hocus Pocus
by Dan Burger
It seems every time IBM's Lotus division makes an announcement, some heckler in the crowd shouts out a crack about Notes/Domino users migrating to Microsoft Outlook and Exchange. Last week, two Lotus software announcements came to my attention. One detailed Notes/Domino 8.5.2 and the other LotusLive 1.3. Coincidentally (conspiracy theorists might find fault with that word), a Gartner report on Notes migrations became available. And that lit the fuse on the Lotus powder keg that goes by the name of Ed Brill. READ MORE >

As I See It: Data Center Campground
by Victor Rozek
Ah, morning in the campground. The tops of evergreens bathed in amber; sunlight filtering through the haze of campfire smoke; crisp, pine-scented air; and the only sounds are the crackle of wood and the sizzle of bacon. Well, not exactly. READ MORE >

by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Despite the worries among some economists that the U.S. economy might be heading for a double-dip and Europe might be dragged back into recession by the faltering economies in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Ireland, the wizards at Forrester Research still think the prospects for the IT sector on a global basis are pretty good for 2010.
