Lotus Foundations and Smart Cube i: Brothers or Clones?
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As I told you a few weeks ago, IBM is apparently cooking up a server called the Smart Cube that is based on its Power 520 hardware, the i 6.1 or a kicker operating system, and a stack of application software. This machine, which may have been under development as the "Blue for Business" platform, which I have reported on for the past year, seems to have a sibling: the Lotus Foundations Smart appliance.

IBM Starts Cutting Deals on Power Systems i for Q4
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Last week, I was talking to a downstream Power Systems reseller, one of the guys with a few hundred customers that he tends to with new systems, upgrades, software configuration, application tuning, and so on, to make his daily bread. By the sweat of his browser, as it were. And guess what he told me? He had no System i or Power Systems i deals at all in the pipeline for the remainder of the fourth quarter. None. Nadda. Zilch. Zip. READ MORE >

Layoffs--Possibly Including Frank Soltis--at IBM Rochester
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
According to a posting on the Midrange-L mailing list, where a lot of the AS/400 intelligentsia hang out to talk and gripe, IBM apparently had some layoffs at the Rochester, Minnesota, home of the AS/400 and its successors. And, if what long-time and staunch AS/400 enthusiast Neil Palmer said in the post is true, the chief architect of what used to be called the System i until last year is getting ready to leave the building.

Mad Dog 21/21: Souls of Old Machines
by Hesh Wiener
In the world of Jewish mysticism, there is a concept of demonic possession by a creature called a dybbuk. A dybbuk is basically a soul that has somehow broken free of its original body and for one or another reason becomes a spiritual squatter in the body and mind of a living person. IBM is big on this idea, putting the soul of a System i into the body of a System p. It is also doing well with a similar soul transplant that gives a mainframe life on a processor complex that bears some resemblance to a Power architecture within the z10 machines. READ MORE >

Power Systems GM Discusses Upcoming i Announcements in Chat
by Alex Woodie
IBM Power Systems head honcho Ross Mauri sat down for a one-hour 'fireside' chat with members of the i community last week. The GM fielded a variety of questions, ranging from upcoming disk- and SAN-related enhancements for i-based blades (expected in 2009) to what are the platform's hottest applications (virtualization and anything written in MySQL/PHP). Mauri was even asked to name his favorite operating system: IBM i, Linux, or AIX? The answer may surprise you. . . . Then again, it may not. READ MORE >
