Enterprise Linux Today: IBM Unveils Ultra-Powerful Workstations

“In a three-pronged assault on the $7.5 billion
workstation market, IBM today introduced a line-up of powerful
UNIX, Linux and Microsoft Windows-based IntelliStation workstations
that offer up to two-and-a-half times faster graphics performance
than Sun’s fastest workstation[1].

Providing better price/performance than Sun machines[2], the new
IntelliStation family also includes the next generation of IBM
video monitors, which can display much higher definition images
than monitors from other vendors[3].

Today’s announcement marks the first time that IBM’s UNIX[4]
workstations have joined the company’s Intel-processor-based
machines under the IntelliStation brand. By offering Linux on
IntelliStation, IBM intends to capitalize on the growing popularity
of the open source operating system among customers.”
