RE: Promoting i5!

Charles,

i5's have been sold to customers with no existing i5/os workload.  One 
customer bought it as a large SAN and stuffed 32 IXS cards into it.

So, what are you suggesting on an i5?  Per processor licensing of i5/OS? 
That way if a bulk of the processor is tied up doing Unix or Linux then it 
doesn't increase up your i5/OS license fees?  Do you think that vendors of 
software designed to run under i5/OS would follow suit?  See WRKLICINF 
"Usage type  . . . . . . . . :   *PROCESSOR"

Hosting Linux underneath i5/OS does a better job of virtualizing disk. 
Trying to do that versus a dedicated partition...  I wonder how processor 
licensing would affect a large i5/os partition used mostly to host Linux 
partitions.
