“IBM BladeCenter is the world’s most popular blade computing system, with more than 42 percent share of the market according to IDC,” says Doug Balog, vice president and business line executive for BladeCenter. “Since its introduction in 2002, IBM has installed more than a half-million BladeCenter systems.”

…But this is almost all Intel- and AMD-based blades. The IBM JS21, on the other hand, is one of those rare blades that breaks the mold. It uses an IBM POWER processor and is aimed at the Unix market…

..”With the JS21, IBM is simply trying to bring more of its server lines into the blade form factor,” says Gartner analyst John Enck. “Look for even more such offerings to be introduced over the next few years.” ..

Very cool an article discussing the IBM JS21 which is their PowerPC blade, this does seem very cool, granted we might not switch our UNIX platforms on to blades overnight, but those small UNIX/Linux boxes that could run either on a blade or virtualized on the blade make the JS21 ideal. Check it out, the article covers a lot.
