Sun Releases New Servers, Blades & More

Posted by Hemos on from the rolling-out-the-new dept.

desau writes "This Yahoo article gives some tidbits on Sun's new toys that are being released today. Looks like they're aiming their guns at intel based systems with many new blade offerings and several small to midrange servers. The article also points out that they're lowering their prices on other servers." Probably a lot more information will come out from the web view - that starts @ 12:30 PM EST - but I think it'll take more than blade servers to make a difference in the future.Removed the first part of the link - the DoubleClick part was my copying link location, and not checking it - it should be correct now.

    They're screwed anyway.

    Unless they can come up with some HUGE reason to not go Intel/Linux the server market is lost to them.

    When linux does all the things Solaris can do. Don't hold your breath.

    I don't plan on turning Linux into a slow-ass operating system with no multimedia support and 80MB Java footprints from a "Hello World" program, so I guess you're right that Linux will never do all the things Solaris does.

    It's fixed, and without an official update! It was up for approximately 9 minutes. Looks like somebody's clever ploy ended up in embarassment. oops.
