Slashdot Talks WIth IBM Power Systems GM Doug Balog (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on Wednesday August 27, 2014 @08:52AM from the 1-u-2-u-more-u-than-u-bargained-4 dept.

Yesterday we had a story titled 'IBM Gearing Up Mega Power 8 Servers For October Launch.' In the intro Timothy wrote, '...watch for a video interview with Balog on how he's helping spend the billion dollars that IBM pledged last year on open source development.' This is that video, and in it Balog tells us how much IBM loves Linux and open source, and how they're partnering with multiple distros, recently including Ubuntu. So get ready for Power 8 servers in October. IBM is pushing them like mad -- especially in the Linux/FOSS realm. (Alternate Video Link)

Refreshingly 'normal' interview by schweini · 2014-08-27 09:08 · Score: 3, Insightful

I just wanted to say that I was pleasantly surprised that this guy seems relatively buzzword free and seems to know his stuff. Obviously he has his corporate agenda, but I would really like more higher-ups in big companies to do interviews like this.
