RE: Why the iSeries keeps winning...

["Haase, Justin C." <justin.haase@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One license per processor used for i5/OS, is most likely what they
meant.

That way you could have three LPARs of i5/OS (2 with one processor, 1
with two) and then some AIX and Linux work on the other 5 processors.
As an example.  That would save quite a bit of money rather than 9
licenses when you're only using 4 for i5/OS work.

Great article and NICE catch Neil.

Question:

"At the higher end of the range, a nine-processor i5 Model 570 costs
$340,000 and includes four licenses of i5/OS. The largest manufacturers
can spring for the i5 Model 595,"

Why does it include four licenses for the OS ?
