Solaris ships across IBM's x86 server line

Sun Microystems and IBM have failed to reach a board agreement around shipping Solaris x86 on IBM's Xeon- and Opteron-based servers. So, a much smaller company has stepped in to help out customers.

Electronic Business Solutions (EBS) today announced that it has received the go ahead to outfit IBM's entire x86 server line with Solaris x86. The deal builds on a lightweight existing agreement between Sun and IBM that has Sun supporting Solaris x86 on IBM's blades. Long a champion of Solaris x86, EBS believes that a broad set of customers have finally warmed to the idea of running Sun's version of Unix on non-Sun boxes.

Silicon Valley Needs Sun

I experienced firsthand the education that Sun gave a young, green engineer. Sun was the industry version of a postdoctoral degree: It was where you went to get educated for the real world. The valley is full of Sun alumni who have gone on to lead other companies, and they may not have made it there without the Sun experience.

Sun was the next Bell Labs in terms of systems research and advancement.

That's why I wanted to work there and why I value the years I had there. No other company has stepped into those shoes. While Wall Street cares about the stock price, some of us realize that Sun's value shouldn't be measured using that metric alone. Sun made the world a better place.
