Reuters about the Exabyte V2 announcement
Wednesday, September 16. 2009
I've read so many comments, tweets, articles about the thing that Oracle published this ad about SPARC and Solaris and then annouce the Exabyte V2 appliance based on Linux and x86. I wrote my opinion about that already. Wait ... there is something interesting in the comment section of this article written by BlueToTheBone: It looks like a IBM VP is spreading IBM party line in a comment. I love the smell of desperation and fear in the evening 
But back to the article mentioned in the headline: Reuters got one of the really important points of this announcement - "Oracle stops making computers with HP". I somewhat convinced, that HP isn't really amused about this move

Love it. Saw the same headling other places too: "Oracle Picks Sun Over HP for Exadata 2 Servers"
Brings ya a warm and fuzzy.

Well about the smell of fear, AND 3 first items from TPM :
Black hole swallows EMEA server revenues :
"Across the entire EMEA region, IDC believes that Itanium-based server sales accounted for $250m (mostly with the Hewlett-Packard label on them), and that Power-based servers (mostly from IBM with a smattering from Bull) accounted for $400m in sales. IBM's mainframe business fell a gut-wrenching 46.7 per cent in EMEA, which offset any gains Big Blue made peddling Power-AIX boxes."
http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2009/09/16/idc_emea_servers_q2_2009/
So in Q2 POWER is barely above Itanium, even with latest Itanium iteration delayed? (in EMEA)
"-"We divested of commodity businesses that do not recover their capital no matter how well you execute," Palmisano explained-"

ATIC ponies up $3.9bn to buy Chartered
"The question now is: when will IBM get bored with making the big investments necessary to keep pace in the chip racket?"
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/08/atic_eats_chartered/
Adding to that : Intels CPU-Marktanteil steigt :
"Dem Wall Street Journal hat iSuppli verraten, wer sich hinter den 7,9 Prozent "sonstiger" Marktanteile verbirgt, nämlich vor allem IBM (3,2 Prozent) und Freescale (2,9 Prozent) sowie ein unspezifizierter Rest von 1,8 Prozent. Da es um MPUs geht, dürften die Power- und PowerPC-Prozessoren von IBM und Freescale gemeint sein und nicht etwa..."

Hmmm...

As a sidebar, on Heise News just below the Intel Item :
ARM Cortex-A9: Entweder schnell oder sparsam
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/ARM-Cortex-A9-Entweder-schnell-oder-sparsam--/meldung/145408
2 cores 2GHz 1.9W probably costing the proverbial bupkes.
Nice for a solar powered OpenSolaris perhaps?
(Also let's not forget Apple)
