IBM is bundling its x86 servers with VMware's newest virtualization platform, and offering financing packages to lower upfront costs. The move combines IBM's System x product line, including blade, rack and tower servers, with VMware's vSphere software, which was introduced in April. The new financing options let customers put zero down up front, and finance purchases as small as $5,000. The financing...

Not that we haven't seen this trick pulled before , but there's still something magical about the forthcoming Aquasar. Said supercomputer , which will feature two IBM BladeCenter servers in each rack, should be completed by 2010 and reach a top speed of ten teraflops. Such a number pales in comparison to the likes of IBM's Roadrunner , but it's the energy factor here that makes it a star. If all goes...
