I think that perhaps mmoy may have been suggesting that in the december timeframe mentioned for the new HP 300-series Opteron servers, Sun will have been able to roll out some of their home-designed servers, which should be much more competitive than the newisys/celestica kit they are selling now. These machines might have the serverworks chipset they are having developed, as well as a design by bechtolsheim. It is true that as of right now, they are not a very big player in this space, but they have articulated publicly that this is their strategy, so I would not count them out just yet.

So? Sun is still a major player in Unix on RISC but
in the x86 market they are but a 3 pound chihuahua
with big dreams.

I spoke to one of our IT guys to see why he has been so busy
lately. I came away with: don't count Sun out yet.
