SPARC Servers |
In the mid 1990's there were dozens of
companies competing in this market sector, many of which, like Axil Computer,
made their own motherboards and some of which, like HAL Computer made their own
chips.
The seeds of decline for Sun's competitors in this area had
already been sown long before the dotcom crash when many of them started using
Sun's motherboards in their systems. So when Sun hit financial problems and
started to undercut its customers and put the squeeze on payment this market
became a graveyard of vain ambition.
Another factor was that as early
as 1999
rackmount SPARC
systems were already replacing deskside SPARC servers as the product of
choice in most end installations due to higher density and lower cost of
ownership. | | |
