Intel debuts Solaris telecom servers
Intel is offering Solaris 10 as an alternative operating system for both its rackmounted TIGW1U servers and the NetStructure line of ATCA blades. The servers are the first fruits of a pact that Intel and Sun Microsystems signed in January calling for wider use of Intel Architecture processors by Sun and Solaris OS by Intel.
Sun/Intel Partnership Targets Telcos
The two companies today announced the availability of Sun' Solaris operating system on Intel-based telecommunications rack and blade servers. Last month, Sun announced a new line of blade servers available with choice of AMD, Intel or Sun's own Sparc processors.

Jonathan's Blog:The Internet vs. Stone Tablets This past week, an American chief executive admitted to having posted over 1,000 comments under an assumed name in a stock market chat room. The chat room focused on a competitor he's seeking to acquire.
I'd love it if we one day eliminated the term "blogging" from the web lexicon (and that we stopped pursuing "CEO's who blog."). CEO's who have cell phones aren't "cell-phoners," those who have email accounts arent "emailers," those who give interviews on television aren't "TV'ers" - they're all leaders using technology to communicate. Communication is central to leadership - using words, written or spoken, to articulate strategy, guide organizations, engage in dialog, and... lead. Leading two or 200,000, you can't do it without communicating. Using technology just leaves more time for everything else (I'm not saying stone tablets can't be effective, they just take way longer to distribute).

But a brand must go beyond a promise. To me, a brand is a cause - a guiding light. For fulfilling expectations, certainly, as well as dealing with the ill-defined and unexpected. It's what tells your employees how to act when circumstances (and customers) go awry, or well beyond a training course. My first real experience with that was a personal one.

Sun Hits Key Milestone With 'CoolThreads'(TM) Servers, Solaris 10 By Surpassing One Million CPU Threads Shipped
Sun today announced that it has shipped over one million CPU "threads," and passed the half-billion dollar revenue. Sun demonstrated that its breakthrough multi-core, multi-thread approach could deliver superior performance while also being highly space and energy efficient. Sun's threaded approach starts with the Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System (OS), which treats each thread as a virtual CPU, thus enabling brutal efficiency and energy savings. To demonstrate the potential energy savings and eco-advantages of the Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 servers, Sun is estimating that since the first product was shipped over a half billion pounds of CO2 have been saved from entering the atmosphere. This is equivalent taking over twenty nine thousand cars off the road for a year, or not burning 17.7 million gallons of gasoline. With these potential savings to the environment, it's fitting that Sun's achievement coincides with International Earth Day.
