Re: Windows on ibm power

So it looks like they want you to set up a blade chasis and use that as
your processing center. Does anyone have any links to pricing information
on blades? This seems like an ideal situation since all the disk storage
would be consolidated and we could use our existing HA solution. I would
think that virtualizing through VMware would be the way to go. Anybody
doing this that would want to talk about their setup, advantages,
disadvantages, etc?

You're talking about the IxS - Integrated xSeries Server. It was a PC
on a card.
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/advantages/integratedserver/ixs/index.html

Formally known as, INS, IPCS, or FSIOP.

Contrast with IxA - Integrated xSeries Adapter, a card that let an
external xSeries box use the iSeries disk.

Both IxA and IxS have been withdrawn from marketing in favor of using
iSCSI to attached an external PC.

All,
I was having a conversation with someone yesterday and they mentioned

that

they remember that you could run windows on the same box as an ibm i.

Now,

I immediately was suspicious of this statement but they claimed that

about

10 years ago there was a special processing card that you would put in

the

machine that would be used to run the OS. Can anybody clear this up?

Is

it possible to run IBM i and Windows on the same hardware platform?

Even

considering virtualization options is this possible?
