Has the penguin gotten too cosy with the establishment for its own good? Or is it simply learning to live in a world in which revenue and customer lists are critical factors for success?
Sun Microsystems and Dell announced a distribution deal on Wednesday that will see Dell's PowerEdge servers shipped with Sun's Solaris 10 operating system.
commentary Sun has finally unveiled the full dimensions of its quest to change the computing landscape. It's fundamentally a more monolithic landscape populated by pre-integrated components. It's also Sun's attempt to become a leading solution provider competing against IBM, HP and Microsoft.
Models of utility computing promoted by Sun, IBM and Hewlett-Packard need a "reality check", said a senior Dell executive.
In a recent interview with CNET Asia's Winston Chai, Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen said that several venerable computer companies are on a downward slope.
Whenever the industry's top execs come together to speak to the masses, expectations are high. This year's Oracle OpenWorld conference provided an insight into which vendors have intriguing grand plans, and which ones prefer to rely on marketing bluff.
Last week I had the chance to hear HP give their world view on why you should join them and Intel on Itanium for your next generation of servers.
Blade servers were once the saviours of the datacentre. Expandability was king. But do blade servers still make sense today? We find out if they're still worth it.

Dell has expanded its work with leading Linux seller Red Hat, but its relations with No. 2 SuSE are warming.
Sun Microsystems announced a deal to use SuSE's version of Linux on its servers last week, but a Sun executive now says the partnership encompasses desktop computers as well.
Industry watchers claim Sun Microsystems is playing a dangerous game with its decision to position Solaris as open source -- a move which will see it go head to head with Linux.

Red Hat and Sun Microsystems are gearing up to sell Linux for desktop computers, the companies' chief executives said Tuesday.
Managing data storage is just as much of a task (or greater) as managing the servers themselves. It makes sense to centralise management in larger organisations wherever possible. Enter the storage area network (SAN).
The Dell Latitude E is a glimpse into the future of laptops. With high expandability, configurable and a strong design, it should suit most corporate environments.
The deals to ship Sun's Java technology in all the PC makers' machines are a poke in the eye for Microsoft, which has been lacklustre in its support for the software.
