Steals market share from Sun
Hardware king Michael Dell is apparently rubbing his paws with glee over the fact that IBM is thinking of buying Sun.
Ironically, talking in the Land of the Rising Sun, Dell said he sees the whole thing as an opportunity for his company to secure more customers and a greater share of the enterprise computing market.
He thinks that Sun's technology does not really fit into Big Blue's business and would accelerate a shift from Sun's Sparc and Solaris platforms to the more standardized x86 and Linux platforms offered by his company. All of the Sun accounts should be very concerned about what will happen to the Solaris platform and the Sparc microprocessor, he warned.
Dell is actively working with in large numbers of Sun customers to move those from the Sun Solaris Sparc platform to an x86 Linux platform and that migration is under way, Michael claimed.
