IBM opens x86 Veritas cluster and storage shop | The Register

Veritas and IBM have firmed up their ties with a new reselling agreement that will see Big Blue ship some of Veritas' better known software products with its servers.

In particular, IBM will resell the Veritas Cluster Server product and the Storage Foundation product - which includes Veritas' file system and volume manager. These software packages will be promoted alongside IBM's Xeon-based servers and its fleet of Xeon- and Opteron-based blades. IBM hopes to target customers running Red Hat or SuSE Linux and Microsoft's Windows operating systems with the reselling deal.

"We believe the Veritas products will add value to what already is one of the most robust, reliable and available x86 server lines on the market, and also help make it easier for our mutual customers in their server consolidation efforts to Linux and Windows on xSeries and BladeCenter servers," said Jim Northington, a VP at IBM.

Aachen pre-ride: Leo's story/photo/results

Le déplacement vers Aix la Chapelle était court pour les belges, mais leurs dents étaient longues même si la Belgique se présentait avec une équipe de chevaux peu habitués à un événement de tel type. Le temps où les belges s'engageaient sur une course comme des oiseaux pour le chat est révolu. Les résultats engrangés par nos cavaliers à l'étranger et sur les championnats y ont contribué. La politique de l'équipe nationale belge et ses résultats ont aussi été un élément moteur.
//
The journey to Aachen was short for the belgians, but their teeths were a lot longer that the short trip they had to do for reaching Aachen. The time when belgians entered a race with reduced ambitions is over. Results achieved abroad by individuals and on championships played a big role.

Germany: Liesens wins Aachen

Endurance Test: Belgian outsider Liesens wins in Aachen
06.14.2006

Belgian rider Leonard Liesens has won the international Endurance WEG test event in Aachen. The competition also served as the German National Endurance Championship which was won by Melanie Arnold, who finished as best German combination in third place. Sweden won the team competition.

It was a day full of surprises. The fact, that in the evening the corks popped in the camp of the new German Champion Melanie Arnold could have been forseen (see "Three questions for Melanie Arnold") whereas the victory of the Belgian outsider, Liesens with Arazzi, ahead of French rider Raphael Muller was completely unexpected. Liesens reached the finish at the show grounds in the Aachener Soers 13 hours and 39 minutes after the 5 am start.
