Sun Microsystems could release its second blade server design, a thin system based on an Athlon processor, by year-end, a few months later than expected.
IBM continued to march ahead of rivals in 2004 in server sales, a key market in the computing industry, making gains in models using x86 chips and the Unix operating system.
A memory problem has triggered a three-month delay in IBM's JS20 server, a system at the centre of three major strategies in Big Blue's server group, the company confirmed Monday.
IBM plans to announce on Tuesday a thin blade server that uses its own Power processors, but a delay means the system won't ship until March--just ahead of a counterattack by Hewlett-Packard.
After three years of declines, Sun Microsystems returned to revenue growth in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
