Sun Cranks UltraSparc-IV+ Clocks, Tweaks Sun Fire Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
While Sun Microsystems has been making a lot of noise about its Opteron-based "Galaxy" servers in the past year, the Unix server supplier makes most of its money selling RISC/Unix boxes. And because of this, Sun is this week boosting the speed of its "Panther" UltraSparc-IV+ processors. The company is also making other changes to the Sparc-based Sun Fire server line that are aimed at boosting the performance and capacity of the servers. READ MORE >

AMD Unveils Rev F Opterons, Prepares for Quad Cores in Mid-2007
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The much-awaited and overdue "Santa Rosa" Rev F edition of the Opteron processors were launched by Advanced Micro Devices on Tuesday, and the company is clearly hoping to demonstrate to server makers and server buyers that the Opteron has plenty of technical and economic leverage against a revitalized server chip lineup from rival Intel. While AMD is launching the Rev F chips this week, it is doing so somewhat quietly and in a manner that is reminiscent of the launch of the "Montecito" dual-core Itanium chip by Intel. READ MORE >

HP Chalks Up Another Decent Thirteen Weeks in Fiscal Q3
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The fiscal third quarter ended in July is typically Hewlett-Packard's weakest quarter, and in fiscal 2006, the May through July quarter was also the weakest one on the books. But what a difference two years makes. In fiscal 2006, HP's weakest quarter (the one it just finished) had slightly more revenue and a lot more profit than its best quarter in fiscal 2004. HP, lead by president and chief executive officer, Mark Hurd, has obviously made steady progress getting HP's business units and books in order. READ MORE >

The X Factor: Database Appliances Come Around Again
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The great thing about a general purpose operating system like a variant of Unix, Windows, or Linux is that it is designed to support a lot of different applications and many different means to access those applications. The original computers from decades ago were primitive and also relatively secure and easy to manage by modern standards. The price/performance improvements in increasingly complex operating systems have not come even close to offsetting the annoyance and cost of patching and securing them. Even a free operating system carries a very large people cost. READ MORE >
