IBM Merging with Sequent

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the merging-buying-whatever dept.

Ober was the first to write in with the news that IBM is merging with Sequent. IBM says it plans to begin selling Sequent products immediatley after the merger, and it looks like they even want to improve some of Sequents NUMA machines. IBM and Sequent are both involved in Project Monterey.

    oops.. further review of the Sequent site (and some delving into the old stuff, I think) led me to find this, which might help some. It seems to look technical, and I'll bet it's what I was looking for... :)
