Oracle Touts Unbreakable Linux, Adds Clusterware Support
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It has been a year and a half since database, middleware, and application software powerhouse Oracle pulled a CentOS maneuver and created a variant of Red Hat's Enterprise Linux distribution and started selling less costly support services for this so-called Oracle Unbreakable Linux. To make Unbreakable Linux even more attractive to customers, Oracle is throwing some extra goodies pulled from its Real Application Clusters (RAC) clustering software to customers who use its Linux distro and support.

Ubuntu 6.10 Comes to the End of the Line
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Nothing lasts forever, and this is particularly true of patches and tech support for open source programs like Linux distributions. Many of the Linux distros out there have a regular pattern whereby older releases are retired as they get too far behind the current release, which stands to reason since those older releases do not have the kernel features to support new programs and functions that Linux customers demand. Basically, retiring releases is good for you, even if it is disruptive to your day. READ MORE >

IBM Merges System p and System i Server Lines
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
In what was probably one of the worst kept secrets so far in 2008, IBM announced last week at a Town Hall meeting at the COMMON user group conference and expo in Nashville, Tennessee, that it would finally and formally do away with the System p and System i server brands and change the name of the i5/OS operating system for what is very likely to be the last time. I said 'very likely' because this is Big Blue, after all. READ MORE >

IBM Launches Dual-Core Power6 JS12 Blade Server
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As part of the consolidation of the Power-based System p and System i servers last week and the rebranding of the i5/OS operating system to simply i, or i for Business or IBM i 6.l if you can't stand a single letter product name, Big Blue did the smart thing and got a single-socket Power6 blade server, the JS12, out the door. This is a far more appropriate server for customers with more modest workloads than the four-core JS22 blade, launched last year, can handle. READ MORE >
