You can’t be half-pregnant. And Hewlett-Packard can’t be half-committed to Ubuntu Server Edition. Over the next few months, I think you’ll see HP make a far more comprehensive commitment to Canonical’s Linux server strategy. Here’s why.
First, today’s news: Canonical has certified Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition on Hewlett-Packard’s HP ProLiant G6 servers; Ubuntu is now certified to run on 17 different ProLiant configurations. I’ve been expecting this news for several months. Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth hinted during the Ubuntu 9.04 launch that a Hewlett-Packard server announcement would surface within a few weeks or months.

Adaptec Adds NAND Cache And Capacitor To RAID Cards
Gone is the day that you need a battery backup for Adaptec’s RAID controller cards, as the company has introduced a NAND flash cache and capacitor duo. The company’s series 5 RAID cards use cache memory to store data prior to leaving the card. Being volatile storage, data stored in the cache is lost during power failure.
Adaptec’s 5Z Series cards now come armed with a “super capacitor” and secondary NAND cache. When a lack of power is presented, the capacitor contains enough juice to write the traditional cache’s contents to the NAND cache, thus evading data loss. The capacitor and controller card are separate units, adjoined with a power cord. There are numerous benefits of kicking your battery to the curb – not least its lengthy recharge time. The super-capacitor charges in mere minutes of having a power source.
