In this episode, James and Coté talk with Tarquinio Teles, CEO of Hoplon, about their decision to run their MMP game on System z mainframes with Linux.

The details of how Hoplon are using IBM's On Demand mainframes as a grid are interesting and slightly different than the mainframe story we're used to hearing. In fact, it seems quite similar to the coolness of Amazon's recent E2 launch.

So, check it out.

IBM has some additional material up on Hoplon as well.
