IBM introduces Blue Cloud


I rarely link to press releases, but this one looks good enough. The Blue Cloud is built on Linux on both x86 and POWER processors. This is very cool. Congrats to Dan Frye and his “kStart” team on bringing a great vision to reality.

Blue Cloud — based on IBM’s Almaden Research Center cloud infrastructure — will include Xen and PowerVM virtualized Linux operating system images and Hadoop parallel workload scheduling. Blue Cloud is supported by IBM Tivoli software that manages servers to ensure optimal performance based on demand. This includes software that is capable of instantly provisioning resources across multiple servers to provide users with a seamless experience that speeds performance and ensures reliability even under the most demanding situations. Tivoli monitoring checks the health of the provisioned servers and makes sure they meet service level agreements.
