HP Opteron Blades, Proliant Supports Sun Solaris 10
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 20th Jan 2006 21:36 UTC
Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris "All HP blades now support Sun Solaris 10 in 32/64 bit but that's only the beginning. HP's Opteron DL145-G2 is now certified for Solaris 10 32/64 bit too, and sources suggest there's a lot more to come. We'd say that OpenVMS for Opteron is a bridge too far for Hewlett Packard, but additional support for Sun Solaris 10 suggests a degree of cooperation that would have been totally unconceivable two years ago."

..I'd say Solaris 10 is certified on the majority of Opteron brand-name servers. Good for Solaris 10 x86! Not anymore Sun's foster child, it seems.

True, and if the customer wishes to get support, SUN still makes money, even if the customer chooses not to purchase hardware off them - its a win, win situation for all concerned.

...it was INconceivable, and using "totally" before it intensifies an absolute.

Methinks computer geeks need to hang around linguistics geeks.

Here's hoping the - mods for nit-picky and off-topic are counter-balanced by the + mods for "Yeah, buy that guy a dictionary!"

The mistake was in the original article. Maybe it was written in newspeak ? I know it's unprobable, but it's not unpossible.

Anyway more cooperation in the *nix world is always doubleplusgood, let's hope it doesn't turn out to be a bunch of duckspeak.
