The Right Tool For the Job

When I was young, I thought scissors came with the tips broken off … I learned later in life that actually they had been broken off by my dad when he used them as screwdrivers … an early lesson in using the right tool for the job. When we started the process of defining the ClearPath NextGen architecture we knew we needed to preserve the partitioning capabilities from earlier systems and at the same time we wanted to exploit all the capabilities in Intel’s latest system designs.. While virtualization is all the rage, we chose not to use a general purpose hypervisor for partitioning … did we choose wisely?
