Clarifications on i5/OS . . . not in the Familiar Black Box
OK, as NEWS Daily hits the streets, I'm getting additional reports, both on what Elaine Lennox said and didn't say, as well as what Bob Tipton, who also spoke at OCEAN, kind of said following Lennox. Tipton riffed a bit on the idea of i5/OS on other platforms, including Intel, which seemed to have added a bit of fuel to the speculation, though creating a fire may not have been the intention of either speaker.
In any event, Trevor Perry, who was also there, told me that a more likely interpretation of Lennox's words would be that i5/OS could run on a POWER6-based blade form factor, which could presumably slide into a BladeCenter. Perry also noted that Frank Soltis has made similar statements to this effect, but details remain elusive.
Perry, for his part, covers the conference and some of these issues in his "System i(ntel)?" blog post. Definitely check it out.
