This first articles talks about a new IBM server platform, the x455 which will let customers configure a server with between 4 and 16 processors in a manner which reminds me of lego. Need more processing power? Slide in another group of processors.

But this second article could add a really interesting twist to the above capability. VMware's new capability provides a huge degree of abstraction from the underlying hardware. Workload can be moved around using a drop-and-drop interface.

So if you need more horespower on a server, you could add more x455 units, or move a virtual server image to another physical server.
Sweet.
