Another mention of the Hannaford system is here: http://www.computerworld.com/hardwaretopics/hardware/story/0,10801,106776,00.html?source=NLT_AM&nid=106776
(Mind the wrap. http://tinyurl.com/anju3 should work temporarily for those of you who have trouble with the wrap.) >From the article: "The z9 can process 1 billion transactions per day, more than double the transaction processing capability of the zSeries z990, which Hannaford also uses. Homa said IBM also made architectural changes to the z9 that improve its ability to pull data from its database by about 30%." Color me impressed. Also from the article: "Rapid processing capability is critical to his wireless users, but what Homa likes about the z9 is its scalability; he's using only two processors on a system that can support 64. "This machine is doing more work than [the] other 500 servers in the data center put together," he said."
