Red Hat to Use Automation, Virtualization to Eat the Server Space
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

It is not very often that you see an IT vendor that is not holding a monopoly or near monopoly in its market point to the upper decks and say that it is going to make a home run, on demand. But last Wednesday, as the chief techies and marketeer at commercial Linux distributor Red Hat were announcing Enterprise Linux 5.1 and their vision to virtualize the data center, the company said that it was aiming to have its Linux own 50 percent market share on global server shipments by 2015.

Intel Announces First "Penryn" Xeon Processors
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Chip maker Intel is timing the launch of its 'Penryn' family of 45 nanometer quad-core Xeon processors to coincide with the Supercomputing Conference 2007 high performance computing event being held this week in Reno, Nevada, as a means of highlighting the performance and performance per watt advantages its new 'Harperstown' Xeon 5400s can offer to HPC customers.
