HP Targets Sun Solaris Base with Linux on ProLiant
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Hewlett-Packard last week announced that it would be formally gunning for the installed base of Sparc and Solaris servers, the largest target in the Unix market.

by Victor Rozek
What globalization did for manufacturing, it is now doing to IT. The reckless race to the bottom in which manufacturers sought third-world relief from livable wages, ethical regulations, and responsible environmental protections has now expanded to include the information technology sector. Under the all-justifying banner of competitiveness, tens of thousands of IT jobs are being outsourced overseas where pay is low and benefits are expendable. If "jobless recovery" sounds like an oxymoron to you, it's just outsourcing by another name. READ MORE >
