Perhaps not mainframe, however, POWER is a great alternative. Sure, the rule of thumb is the hardware is 2x the cost of x86, however, and YMMV, we have been able to stack ~4x as many Linux VM's on POWER. Smaller footprint, lower power consumption and finer grain controls as well, lower the TCO.
I think what holds this solution back is that it is not the shiny, new toy.
Neat! What is the picture quality like? This sounds like a great solution (not sarcasm).

THIS!
lol. You are confusing the hardware with the software.
The P-Series hardware, i.e., a Power 10 server, runs on IBM Power processors.
Linux has been ported, and can run on Power processors in a LPAR, just like AIX, or IBM-i (what AS400 stuff is called now).
All my dead spinners are Seagate. I relish the time a 100TB member drops; will take a gigasecond to rebuild... Horrible
Marshall Brain, the creator of the popular HowStuffWorks website, died the week before Thanksgiving in his office on the campus of North Carolina State University. He was 63. Brain's wife called NC State Police to perform a welfare check at 6:40 am on November 20. Officers arrived in his office at 7:00 am to find him already dead.
University newspaper Technician noted that initially, no cause of death was released. On Tuesday, Raleigh's The News & Observer obtained a copy of Brain's death certificate, confirming he committed suicide. The report did not mention motive or method, but an email sent a few hours before his death spelled out his motivation pretty clearly.
One gets what one pays for. Though, I suppose I too would want a discount if I had to live in FL.

Yes, but the sun is getting brighter as it migrates from Proton-Proton to CNO nucleosynthesis.
Uh-huh. In what time frame? I see your snark, now for some context...
"The energy output of the Sun has not fluctuated by more than perhaps 0.1% to 0.2% in human history" (Source: Taylor, David; Northwestern University June, 2012)
So, in a ~300,000 years, the sun has not changed luminosity or temperature more that +/- 0.2% of it current value. At most, a 0.000011% change in stellar output from 2014. Are you implying stellar evolution has sped up geometrically?

>complaints about higher prices are unwarranted since customers using at least two components of VMware's flagship Cloud Foundation will end up paying less
Note that he is only talking about the big customers, they clearly want to get rid of small ones.
Big ones either. We are working to, "lower our exposure," to Broadcom's mercurial whims. Now, where can I move ~50K VM's too...
I do it all day every work day across 2-3 continents. One has to be organized and focused. And not prone to whinging.
1 - Brain tumor, that gives him disturbing urges
2 - Undiagnosed mental illness, that gives him disturbing urges
3 - Guilty Conscious of Past Crime - that he yielded to disturbing urges
This study is like looking at the slit, from a particular angle, at a particular time, and saying, look, a particle, and missing the wave. For an atheist, he sure is framing a 'fate' argument. This smacks of intellectual sloth.
Fix will never happen. SCTP is a dumpster fire.
Lol, I was going to snark post that it only took them ~15 years to catch up (sort of) to IBM VIO/AIX/Power...
Look, companies volunteering data for our AI training...
