Sun Need Not Fear Massive
Customer Migration to Linux or Windows Says SPARC Product Directory Editor:- January 28, 2004 - research by the SPARC Product Directory shows an astonishingly high rate of loyalty to Solaris. The research was based on readers pageviews for a widely promoted article on migration away from Solaris which was featured in the publication during the 4th quarter of 2003. Less than 0.8% of the 66,486 visitors to the SPARC Product Directory in that period actually bothered reading the article. This should provide some comfort to Sun Microsystems and its partners that there doesn't appear to be a great head of steam among the SPARC/Solaris user base to look at migrating away from Solaris. But simply minimising the flow of defections away from its user base, doesn't fix the other problem which Sun faces... Its server revenues aren't growing anywhere near as fast as that of its Windows and Linux competitors. Sun is still missing the key to the puzzle of how to increase confidence in its products and own survival enough to attract new customers at a fast enough rate.

| Force Computers | Force Announces Design Win
for SPARC SBCs in Ericsson Mobile Radar Systems
FREMONT, Calif. - January 15, 2003 - Force Computers today announced a design win for its CPU-56 SBC in a series of mobile radar systems developed by Ericsson Microwave Systems. Based on the UltraSPARC-IIi+ 650MHz processor, the CPU-56 SBC was chosen by Ericsson because this VME board offers the necessary high-performance features supported by the required value-added customer services. Overall, Force VME solutions satisfy stringent customer demands such as those for high-performance computing, energy efficiency, product longevity with robust end-of-life (EOL) support and effective TCO as well as optional conformal coating. Defense and aerospace products, including those from Ericsson Microwave Systems, have long life cycles so they can take maximum advantage of Force's robust EOL program for extended product supply and repair services. In addition, the company chose the option of conformally coating the CPU-56 for the special requirements of ruggedized defense applications. As the overall embedded computing leader (source: VDC, May 2003), Force is committed to manufacturing boards as soon as possible so OEMs can develop products with their required application features - reducing time from concept to full functionality. ...Force Computers profile | ||||||||||||||||||
