IBM Tweaks BladeCenter S for the Office, Preps Power6 Blades
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Back in June, IBM previewed a blade server chassis aimed at moving blades from the data centers of the world's largest organizations, who have been trying to cram as much computing power as they can in as small a space as possible, to small and medium businesses, who want integrated systems that fit in a closet, in a corner, or under a desk. The BladeCenter S was IBM's initial foray, and now that Hewlett-Packard has announced its 'Shorty' BladeSystem c3000 chassis, IBM has rejiggered the BladeCenter S chassis to better compete in the SMB space.

Novell Actually Ships Open Enterprise Server 2
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

After months of preparation, Novell yesterday finally launched Version 2 of its Open Enterprise Server operating system. With the shift to OES 2, the hybrid NetWare-Linux platform moves entirely to a Linux kernel, which means NetWare becomes a layer of services riding atop SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 or a virtualized operating system running inside of a Xen hypervisor partition hosted by SLES 10. Novell will, of course still sell customers NetWare 6.5 Service Pack 7 (inside OES 2) and will support it for many years to come. READ MORE >


Growing Businesses, Upgrades Drive IT Hiring in Q4
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Fears of recession subsided last week thanks to a mediocre jobs report from the U.S. Labor Department that said employers added 110,000 jobs in September and 89,000 jobs in August, despite a slowdown in the construction and manufacturing sectors and jitters in the stock and mortgage markets. People were cheered last week--particularly on Wall Street--because jobs grew even though the economy seems to be slowing down a bit.
