This makes me for one a little happier than an IBM takeover - we don't need a monoculture in IT. And going out slightly on a limb, any times I've seen IBM deals with clusters you get IBM solutions - such as GPFS. Where would that have left Lustre (say). OK - all vendors will naturally only offer their solutions, but in the case of a Sun/IBM merger one set of everythign would be bound to have withered away, leaving the end users with a poorer overall choice. I guess there are now two men with black suits and ties waiting in reception for me... _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
