BladeCenter™ Technical TrainingBlades for Sun Migration
• Many customers are considering moving from Sun to Linux
• Linux on the JS20 is an ideal solution- They are used to 64-bit- They are used to the (perceived) robustness of
RISC- They can mix and match HS20’s if some of
their applications are better suited to 32-bit- They can go back to UNIX (AIX) if they don’t
like Linux
BladeCenter™ Technical TrainingAnswers to common positioning questions
• Why Linux on Power instead of Linux on Intel?- 64-bit capability- Superior price/performance in floating point
• Why Power based blades instead of Opteron based blades (available from Rack Saver)
- Superior price /performance with VMX- UNIX capability- IBM BladeCenter value (multiple Operating Systems
with common management, etc)
