Matthew writes: IBM has announced the release of their new ultra-high density blade server system that features IBM’s new “Sling” hot-swap technology (Some folks call it a Kaiser Blade system), which allows individual blades to be replaced by removing a single screw and extending the blade. The new blade server disks are then automatically mirrored (or “shined” in IBM terminology) in less than five minutes. Zero downtime is easily accomplished by implementing clustering between the blades.
Blades are concentrated in a 7 rack unit “shed” capable of holding up to 14 units, thus providing up to 84 servers in a standard rack to create a server “farm”.

All those other words are dated! They are soooo 1990! Pretty soon Engineers will be synergizing corporate C-Level management with the best of the F1K.
