System p & Power6: Linux Server Virtualization Powerhouse
From the article:
IBM Corp. hopes IT shops will consolidate Linux workloads onto IBM System p Unix servers with the help of a new line of Power6 boxes with enhanced virtualization capabilities.
Big Blue’s push toward Unix consolidation is three-pronged: to build server hardware with additional memory to accommodate numerous virtual servers; to make Unix virtualization inexpensive for those getting started; and to lure x86 folks by enabling x86 Linux applications to run unmodified and unrecompiled on the Power6 chip.
According to Joe Clabby of Yarmouth, Maine-based research firm Clabby Analytics, affordable virtualization software is ” almost irresistible” for users who want to embark on server virtualization but are deterred by VMware’s high price.
