IDataPlex is the way forward
Merrill - which is being acquired by Bank of America - will use the iDataPlex servers to help build and evaluate new risk analysis programs, says IBM.
The new server model is part of IBM’s $100 million “Blue Cloud” initiative and is designed to achieve “stateless computing that effectively turns many separate computers into a pool of shared resources”.
IBM says this paves the way for mass-scale, Internet-style computing in a compact, energy-saving package. IDataPlex more than doubles the amount of systems that can run in a single IBM rack - packing five times the compute power of typical systems, claims the vendor.
It’s great to read up about IBM’s IDataPlex, and see how Merrill is benefiting from the platform. I remain a fan of the concept and can see how IDataPlex would be great in a web farm or grid/hpc solution. I’m off to read more.
