SGI Rolls Out Shared Storage for Windows, Linux, and Unix
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
If you're selling servers, it's a good idea to sell the storage that goes along with them. The amount of storage companies buy can meet or exceed the data processing capacity they acquire. And if you don't sell good storage that is kept up to date with the latest disk drive, controller, and management software technologies, other storage vendors (which might also try to sell servers against you) could decide to raid your customer base.

Baan to the Bone: One on One with SSA GT's Graeme Cooksley
by Alex Woodie
Since being resurrected from bankruptcy in 2000, SSA Global Technologies has put on a clinic for how to do acquisitions. Last month, the Chicago software conglomerate completed its biggest acquisition yet: a $135 million buyout of Baan, the once high-flying ERP software vendor that lost a lot of money but has a good product and hopes for a comeback. (Sound familiar?) Graeme Cooksley, the SSA GT executive charged with righting Baan, recently spoke with Guild Companies about the acquisition and how it fits in with SSA GT's agenda. READ MORE >

As I See It: Attila in the Workplace
by Victor Rozek
I have a friend who works for a local enterprise that owns and manages numerous commercial and residential properties as well as vast tracts of forestland. The company likes to keep a low profile. You won't find it listed in the phone book, and unless you happen to know where they are, the offices are hard to find. They're holed up in the back of a nondescript building, and only a small, discrete sign attests to what lies within. READ MORE >
