The Power Systems 570 i Edition Versus Big Windows Boxes
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Now that Intel has its 'Dunnington' six-core Xeon processor into the field, it would seem to be a good time to see how the Power Systems 570 i Edition servers stack up against Windows machines equipped with enterprise-class hardware features and systems software. It is a good time, with the fourth quarter under way and IT shops looking to buy--or not, as the case may be. Unless, of course, you were looking for some good news on the i pricing front.

An Open Letter to i Shops from the Power Systems GM
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Last week, Ross Mauri, the general manager of the Power Systems division, published an open letter to the i half of the merged System i and System p communities. The open letter follows a few weeks after IBM hosted two Power Systems Technical Universities in Chicago, one for the i base and the other for the AIX and Linux bases. Given the state of the global economy, the letter was meant to be reassuring to IBM's 200,000-strong customer base, which spans most industries and countries. READ MORE >

System Performance Management Is Like Having Insurance
by Doug Mewmaw
One of the things in life that drives me crazy is paying for insurance. Okay, I realize it's necessary and the responsible thing to do, but it just feels like I pay a premium and I get nothing in return. Then one thing happened. It rained. No, it rained a lot.

IDC and i: Next Time, Can You Talk to Some Real i Shops?
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As part of Power Systems general manager Ross Mauri's open letter to i shops around the globe last week, IBM pointed to a new white paper put out by IDC to espouse the virtues of the i platform. Now, I know a lot of us have complained about the lack of marketing for the AS/400, iSeries, and System i platform, but there is another--and potentially larger--problem: a lack of critical thinking and empirical data that shows, beyond a doubt, the quantitative as well as qualitative benefits of the i platform.
