We thought that the new Hardware Management Console would be a software only feature of IBM Director. Not so. IBM will still offer an appliance option, the price of which may not be dramatically different from the price of the current Hardware Management Consoles.
The software version, i.e. not the appliance, will need a server on which to run and the general feeling is that POWER users will not want this to be the same server providing other Director functionality for other platforms.
It is likely that POWER architects will continue to configure the appliance option.
