BMW, >(Intel thread, any chance that this could be using Intel based servers? If so, this could be a huge deal. I imagine Coca-Cola has quite a few locations that would need to be updated with new compute platforms.)

ATLANTA & ARMONK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2001-- IBM and The Coca-Cola Company announced today that Coca-Cola is leveraging IBM's most advanced digital asset management technology to create a powerful resource for managing archival information.


I don't see how the front end could be anything but. The back end, well, IBM is pretty proud of their AIX on Power IV, and of their mainframes. No doubt they'd use one of those families. The Summit based servers might be considered by IBM, but McKinley availability would make them a lot more viable. Another couple of years need to go by for the whole thing to be considered on Intel, and even then, why would IBM not use their proprietary stuff. Cost?
