ISAOPT runs on x blades, not Power. But they are not general purpose x blades as announced today, they are part of a blackbox ISAOPT solution. Added value - management by zManager for virtual servers, servicebility/waranty as for System z, integrated 10 Gbps network managed from HMC, dedicated management network which handles also firmware updates (blades are updated from HMC when CE comes with MCLs).
