The new frontier in UNIX servers. IBM invented it.

Why pSeries for GRID Computing?Virtualization improves utilization

Today:Dynamic logicalpartitioning

Tomorrow:Multiple partitions per processor (10X)Virtual I/OVirtual storageVirtual local area network (LAN)

On the server side, dynamic logical partitions are yet another example of how IBM ismigrating mainframe-derived technologies to its other server product lines…Bothcompanies’ [Sun and HP] UNIX servers utilize hardware-based partitioning which isless flexible than IBM’s software approach. —Charles King, The Sageza Group
