Azul Systems - network attached processing?
Azul Systems – Industry’s Leading Azul Compute Appliances
Just been brought to my attention, I confess to having not heard of them. I wonder if this kind of system could be used as an alternative to grid?
The appliances seem to have a lower power/cooling footprint, worth looking at, I see they’ve been validated for use with Oracle, it’s a matter of what’s appropriate, if I can have a box with sixteen processors instead of four or eight blades, the network attached appliance will have a lot less day to day management than the blade servers.
Particularly those compute models which have evolved into something that gets progressively less manageable. An example, original system 16 servers running calculation reports overnight using oracle as the datasource, when scaled to 1100 servers the performance is great, but the day to day system management starts getting more difficult and expensive.
Network attached storage by netapps is a fantastic storage solution, if I could have a processing solution along a similar line of thought, then that would be ideal, I’d switch to that any day, due to datacenter hosting and power alone.

Very smart, off to read the white papers.
