Last week Sun and Fujitsu announced the new SPARC Enterprise line of servers, featuring four servers based on the Olympus SPARC64-VI CPU.
Three years ago, I was shocked (as was much of the industry) to learn that Sun and Fujitsu were cooperating to develop the next generation of midrange and high-end servers. A couple of weeks later, I learned that I would be part of the Sun engineering team working on this ground-breaking new product. The last three years have been very interesting, and I believe we've produced a fantastic product, and I'm eager to blog about it.
I hope to use this space to write about the great features, and little secrets, of the new SPARC-Enterprise M-series machines. And I hope to encourage my fellow engineers to contribute a few postings themselves.
Caveat: We're all engineers here, so we can't make promises about future deliver of products or features, and we probably can't tell you too much about new things in the works. But we certainly can tell you about the stuff that's already shipping, and I'm hoping to get input from you about things you'd like to see added or changed in the product.
If there's something in particular you're interested in reading about, post a comment and let me know. If I can't answer your questions, I'll see if I can find an expert who can.
