AMD Gooses Dual-Core Opteron Speeds, Cuts Prices
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices today made good on its promise to increase the clock speed on its dual-core Opteron Rev F processors for servers and workstations, which it said it would do back in April when it last increased clock speeds on the parts. The company also slashed prices on its first-generation Rev E chips (which had one core per chip) and second-generation Rev F Opteron processors in an effort to make life a little more difficult for rival Intel.

IBM Takes Its Own Server Consolidation Medicine
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Server maker IBM has been banging the drums about infrastructure simplification, server consolidation, and the economic benefits of the mainframe platform as a consolidation platform for so long that its arms must be tired. Someone in the hierarchy at Big Blue finally figured out that maybe the company should look at its own data centers and take a little of its own medicine. And having done that, IBM is about ready to collapse a whole bunch of RISC and X86 servers--most of them running Unix and none of them running Windows--down to much smaller number mainframes.

NEC Brings Linux, Windows Clustering Software to North America
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

While NEC is not exactly a name-brand supplier of servers and systems software in the North American IT market, the company is a dominant supplier of servers and systems software in its home Japanese market and in other countries in the Asia/Pacific region. Having invested in creating its own clustering software for Windows servers more than a decade ago and moved support over to Linux in recent years, NEC wants to sell that software to customers on this side of the Pacific Ocean.

As I See It: Policeware
by Victor Rozek

Is it just me or is the Federal Bureau of Investigation running out of clever names for its clever software? I mean, first we had Carnivore, which conjures up something toothy and predatory; then we had Magic Lantern, which evokes mystical, Harry Potteresque powers; and now we have CIPAV, which sounds like, well, like it was written by IBM.
