ScaleMP Makes Big SMPs Out of Little Ones
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
This is an idea that has been around for a long time, and one that has been implemented in various ways before: take a bunch of small, expensive servers and lash them together by their memories and make them look like a big server, but one that does not have such a big price tag. A startup called ScaleMP, which has been around for a few years in stealth mode, is just beginning to roll out the commercialized versions of its software, which glues together servers into symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) clusters using software and InfiniBand or Gigabit Ethernet interconnections.

VIA Creates Compact Thin Server, Pushes Linux
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Finally, X86 clone chip maker and Mini-ITX system board maker VIA Technologies has introduced a small form factor motherboard based on its low-power C7 processor that has a large number of on-board SATA ports and two Gigabit Ethernet ports. With this move, the new NAS 7800 board is the first server-specific system board to come from VIA, and power conscious system builders (like those of us at IT Jungle) will soon have a machine that they can use to make very compact and energy efficient servers.

The 64-Core Power6-Based Power 595 Starts to Roll in May
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
At a customer event that IBM hosted in San Francisco last Tuesday, the company finished fleshing out the big missing piece in its recently unified Power6-based server family: the Power 595. Like the Power5 and Power5+ System p 595 and System i 595 machines that precede it, the Power 595 server scales up to 64 processor cores and thanks to denser memory and a redesigned backplane and interconnect, can scale up to 4 TB of main memory in a single system image.

And Then There Was One: The New and Improved Power 570
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Two weeks ago, at the COMMON midrange user group in Nashville, Tennessee, IBM formally merged the System i and System p brands, creating a single Power Systems product line with the Power 520 and Power 550 servers while also launching i 6.1 (formerly known as i5/OS V6R1) on them. And last week, the company delivered the top-end 64-core Power 595 server, and then did a little product cleanup by merging the formerly distinct System i and System p versions of the 570.
