Silicon Graphics plans to announce a new Linux computer November 1, a machine that uses Intel's newest Itanium 2 processor and packs the chips twice as compactly as current machines do.
Top server makers announced a bevy of new servers Monday as Hewlett-Packard describes its first four-processor "blade" system and IBM overhauls a mid-range product line with a new processor and a method to accommodate computing surges.
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.
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.
