i5 Model 595: Big Bang for Big Bucks
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Most server lines have a bell curve that describes their price/performance. Because of intense competition, entry servers offer the best bang for the buck. And because big customers that buy big servers stamp their feet and get coddled, high-end servers tend to be priced very aggressively, too. It's the customers in the middle, which represent the vast majority of the installed base for OS/400 and Unix servers, that tend to get the worst deal. READ MORE >

Gartner Releases IT and Business Trends Through 2010
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

When the year comes to a close, it is the traditional time for pundits and IT analysts to whip out their crystal balls and prognosticate about the future of corporate computing. The analysts at Gartner, which hosted its annual Symposium/ITxpo last week, jumped the gun a bit (it is only early November) and released their report on the technology and business trends that will affect IT operations.

As I See It: Keep Laughing
by Victor Rozek

Most people inhabit some part of the stress continuum, ranging from minor to debilitating. The workplace is nothing if not a stress manufactory, and stress is the on-ramp to illness. Exposure to chronic or acute stress has been shown to, among other things, suppress immune functions, leaving the organism vulnerable to disease and infection. The popular solution, contrived by the advertising and pharmaceutical industries, is to keep the nation perpetually drugged, in a state of numb equilibrium. But gelotology researchers claim there may be a cheaper, more natural option. READ MORE >

Correction

The article "New IxS and Other i5-Related Announcements" has been corrected since it was first published. The new Pentium-M IxS card costs more than the prior Xeon-based IxS card because it includes 1 GB of main memory for the card. Putting 1 GB of main memory on the Xeon-based IxS brings its price up to the same $2,780 price point as the new Pentium-M card. IT Jungle regrets the error. [Correction made 11/07/04.]
