IBM spinoff takes new server approach

Author: JT Smith

CNET: “A start-up spun off from IBM has begun selling a thin “blade” server with a less radical approach than
competitors trying to pack computing horsepower as densely as possible.

OmniCluster Technologies has begun selling servers that plug into existing servers’ PCI slots–the same type of
connection commonly used to attach devices such as network cards and storage system controllers to servers. The
method essentially sets up a miniature network between the host server and all the OmniCluster servers plugged into
it, said Chief Executive Chris Fleck.”

Author: JT Smith

ComputerNewsDaily: “At a glitzy Silicon Valley party this summer, the computer industry titans gathered around a single
table formed a telling tableau.

Microsoft Corp.’s Bill Gates held court with a powerful venture capitalist. Across from him,
Compaq Computer Corp. Chairman Michael Capellas and Hewlett-Packard Co. Chairman Carly
Fiornia chattered, grinning over glasses of red wine.

To their left sat Gateway Inc. Chairman Ted Waitt, looking wistful, with no one left to talk to.”
