Mani,

<This, link from JC, is cool!

New Perpetua server built >

This is a pretty interesting architecture. If this is industrial strength they may get bought out or have an IPO. But histroically fault tolerant server business is very tough to break into - so the odds may be against them unless they have very good execution.

Thanks, Mani, for the link. That Perpetua machine looks very cool. The only bad thing about it is that it seems like a very low-volume server solution, especially when you're talking about $150K to $200K per system.

I wonder how that one of those Perpetua systems compares to, say, two 8-way Compaq servers featuring Intel's Profusion chipset (which you can get for about $160K).
