Title: Linux Performance on zEnterprise 196

Abstract: This technical webcast is a Linux performance comparison between
a retina display on their new iPhone 4. That's a
good example of inventing a new term to describe and highlight a
distinctive technical feature. To pick another example, the zEnterprise 196
is the first and only server to feature a Redundant Array of Independent
Memory (RAIM) subsystem. All memory

zEnterprise 196
is the first and only server to feature a Redundant Array of
Independent
Memory (RAIM) subsystem. All memory -- er, storage -- on the system is
RAIM-protected. RAIM is close to RAID, and that's intentional (I
assume). A lot of people know what RAID
