some 1,700 1-GHz microprocessors able to access some 600 terabytes of

“Together with Cisco, we developed this IT manufacturing environment with
off-the-shelf parts.” Hartswick said Linux was evaluated against a Windows-based system and
performed flawlessly for three months, whereas the Windows-based system
failed after six or seven days.
