And you can cluster them together w/ additional s/w to have an even more
powerful beast.

I _need_ a new job that requires this.  This is not an option, but a
necessity.

I'm avail in austin if anyone needs a sr sys admin to play with their
toys. ;)

btw, ibm's announcing theirs on the 2nd I believe, there's a release
party in Austin, free looounch etc.. lemme know if anyone's interested,
I'm sure they won't mind me spreading the invite.  it's actually more
powerful as well....

The best thing about ibm's kit is you get to visit their r&d labs here
in town..  then again now that sun has some kernel development here,
that's austin++ too

I've never had the chance to fly up to emc's labs, I have a couple
passports, but never made the trip.  Maybe I should ebay them :)  I hear
it's quite the impressive floor though, every os on the planet and every
reference box you could ever dream.
