Intel, Unisys Partner On New Range of Servers 46
itwbennett writes "Unisys is primarily a services and consulting company with just a small amount of revenue coming from hardware, but they may be on to something new that could 'could give them a competitive advantage at a time when the big guns are a mess,' says Andy Patrizio. Unisys and Intel are are set to introduce on September 9 a new kind of secure computing platform designed to as a replacement platform for RISC systems running mission-critical cloud and big data workloads. 'It sounds funny to hear Intel talk about RISC migration since it is in the RISC business with the Itanium,' says Andy Patrizio, 'but at this point, what's left? HP was the driving force behind Itanium and it's in chaos right now. IBM has a healthy RISC business, so the target is obviously what's left of the Sun installed base.'"

Are you tired of freedom? Does using open standards that are flexible and adoptable and freeing you from the chain of locked ecosystems? Is your uptime and performance too high?

With cheap plastic servers combined with an inflexible proprietary ecosystem you too can be trapped today! Fulky phb compliant with fancy brochure ware with hot business slang no one completely understands fully included for free.
