Entry IBM i Server Deals Greased With License Discounts
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As this newsletter reported a month ago, IBM has been cutting deals with customers moving from older Power 550 and larger machines based on Power 5, Power5+, and Power6 processors to Power 550/750 machines based on Power6+ and Power7 processors. The deal allows IBM i software licenses bought above and beyond the base OS that is configured with the server to slide from the old to the new box for a modest fee. Now, Big Blue is cutting smaller IBM i shops a break, too. READ MORE >

Prices Jacked on Power Systems Tape Drives and Expansion Drawers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
IBM is offering pretty good bang for the buck on its new entry Power Systems machines based on Power7 chips, and ditto for the midrange boxes using the processors. And so, the money has to come from somewhere and it is always a good idea for it to come from somewhere that might not make it into a press release or a benchmark. Like peripherals. And maybe soon, hardware maintenance fees. READ MORE >

The Server Racket Strengthens in Q2, But Will It Hold?
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Just after The Four Hundred went on hiatus for the Labor Day holiday, the box counters at IDC and Gartner put out their dicing and slicing of the server space for the second quarter of 2010. The news was generally good, but not so much for the high-end systems at IBM and Hewlett-Packard that are undergoing product transitions. The Sparc and X64 servers at Oracle took some hit points, too, thanks to the uncertainty surrounding Oracle's plans for its servers. READ MORE >

Mad Dog 21/21: Craft Nouveau
by Hesh Wiener
Somebody at Google knows about Bing. Not Bing the Microsoft googloid. Bing as in Siegfried (Samuel) Bing, the German expatriate whose Paris gallery, L'Art Nouveau La Maison Bing, founded in 1895, gave its name to a worldwide movement in art, craft, and design. A Google logo celebrated Art Nouveau on July 24, the 150th birthday of Czech illustrator and temporary Parisian Alphonse Mucha. Today, one can find that je-ne-sais-quoi of turn of the Twentieth Century Paris in cyberspace. Its message: Computing, to succeed, must, like the Eiffel Tower, marry art and science. READ MORE >

IDC Raises Global IT Spending Projections for 2010
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
So here's the three questions everyone in the IT sector wants to get an answer to: Is there going to be a double dip in the Great Recession, what is going to happen to IT spending in the second half of 2010, and how will this all affect my compensation? And if you are looking for answers, so are the economists and box counters over at IDC. But unlike you, they are paid to respond to questions like these instead of taking the bugs out of someone else's code or going to meetings to defend the IBM i platform. READ MORE >
