Blades for Sun Migration
BladeCenter™ Technical Training
• 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
Answers to common positioning
questions
BladeCenter™ Technical Training
• 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)
