It's all about Linux. IBM's running Power8 with RedHat in SoftLayer data centers. Hadoop and jboss are some of the target workloads.

- ctstover 11y agoI remember the announcements back in May, but I still don't see an offering on their site. Can one really get a Linux instance on Power by the hour / month in SL? Even better in my case would be just a VPS, as a build node does need a monster server. At the same time, if they are "using it behind the scenes", yet not offering it to customers, that would be very bad for brand image. Isn't the crux of the selling points server consolidation? Which of course is the same exact thing "cloud provider". I still haven't tried it, but siteox.com has it though.
