“Motorola Computer Group…, the world’s leading supplier of
embedded computing platforms for original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs), today introduced the emS Series the first in MCG’s new line
of Intel x86 embedded server platforms integrating the Linux open
operating system. An ATX form factor embedded system, the emS-ATXI
can be used to power a variety of telecommunications, Internet,
imaging and industrial automation server applications, including
e-mail, file systems, application development tools and workstation
connectivity. This highly scalable and customizable platform-with
an industrial 19″ rackmount chassis-enables OEMs to deliver
cost-effective systems designed to meet end-user
specifications.”
“This introduction is part of MCG’s unified Linux strategy-also
announced today-which provides MCG’s OEM and telecom customers with
a broad selection of Linux-based platforms, open source software,
service and support, training, and integration services. As part of
this initiative, MCG is collaborating with Lineo, Inc., an embedded
Linux software company, and Caldera Systems, which offers Linux
software solutions for business applications.”
“…To help its telecommunications, Internet and industrial
automation customers to meet this demand, MCG has integrated the
Linux O/S into its embedded platforms for server applications. With
a 17 percent share of the server market today, the Linux open
operating system is increasingly being adopted as the platform of
choice for many users, according to analyst firm IDC.”
