I was at a CMG Canada presentation that was a repeat of the one given at SHARE regarding this project. I thought the number was closer to 140; that could just be the ORACLE serversn though (my so-called mind could be failing).
That was with three IFL's. You can go up to 54 of them. While not scalar, that's still a lot of virtual servers. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! -----Original Message----- From: David Kreuter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 20:09:56 To:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: server numbers was Linux community All: THE NUMBERS FOR SERVERS COUNTED IN THE PREVIOUS POST AT THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC ARE NOT CORRECT AS STATED. Nor do any of my presentations contain numbers remotely close to those stated in the email post referenced below. The correct number is on or nearer to 200 or so servers. Repeat: the number of servers is nowhere near 650.

This is product type workloads as well, not simply development images. David Kreuter can give more details if anyone is interested, I suspect.
