Ok, I read the official "Preview Announcement" for the IBM Virtualization Engine.
http://www-306.ibm.com/common/ssi/OIX.wss?DocURL=http://d03xhttpcl001g.bould er.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/6/897/ENUS204-096/index.html&InfoType=AN&InfoSu bType=CA&InfoDesc=Announcement+Letters&panelurl=&[EMAIL PROTECTED]@62@ (watch for the wrap) A quote from Shakespeare comes to mind: "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing". Not to call anyone at IBM an idiot, but they obviously have some writers very adept at using thousands of words to say "Virtually" (HA!) nothing. I'll give everyone the condensed version: "We have some virtualization technology. Uh Huh. We do. It is really cool. So there." What really struck me was that z/OS, Linux, Windows, AIX, Solaris and OS/400 were all mentioned, but z/VM was not. What the ????? There was more information in some of the press reports, so there must have been more detail given at a press conference. Is this simply an extension of LPAR technology, or is it z/VM like hipervisor in the firmware? Is there anything new here for z/Series? Again, z/OS is mentioned, z/VM is not.
