IBM to split AS/400 into multiple servers

  ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Responding to a steady demand from its corporate
customers, IBM in
  the first half of 1999 will deliver technology that allows IT shops to
dedicate sets of chips in
  multiprocessor versions of its AS/400 to run multiple businesses from a
single system. 

  The ability to logically partition a 12-way AS/400 server for instance,
would let users split
  those 12 chips into three four-way systems that could run either run
three distinct parts of
  their operations or even three different businesses located in the same
number of countries.
