      Good to see some of the RISC systems getting some love these days. Power and Sparc still have a lot of market relevance.

        Does this mean that Rackspace will be offering Power systems in their racks?

          That would be pretty cool. But only so cool, I can get a Power server and rack it in a colo today. What would be amazing is if this became part of their cloud offering.

            There are lots of vendors out there that will slice you a partition on a larger iSeries or even give you a blade and shared storage, even IBM will do it. It was one of my DR solutions for my last job, ship tapes to Rochester and load a slice up.

            For xSeries, don't know. AIX is also a different beast and doesn't do the same thing that OS/400 does for partitioning.
