Does anyone know if ids is available on Linux for p-series (ie the power
processor?). The only Linux variants I've ever seen in the price book are
Intel (naturally) and something called z-series, which I think means
mainframes.

thanks

Thanks to all who replied, including Karl, Jonathan and Tsutomu. Perhaps
the most comprehensive was from Christine Normile, who is the Informix
Dynamic Server Product Manager at IBM. She wrote:

We add pSeries Linux to our support platforms with the next release of IDS,
scheduled for delivery in late February.

So you can run IDS on Linux on x86, IPF, pSeries and zSeries - it scales at
100% on zSeries (yes - mainframe - we actually already have several IDS
clients who have used this for server consolidation).. I'm asking R&D to do
some testing on pLinux to see if we get the same linear scaling. :-)
