“Intel is launching a major program today that will attempt to
transform Internet service providers into a conduit for Intel
products and services, the latest indication that the humble ISP is
rapidly moving toward the center of the digital world.”
“ISPs… will become one of the conduits for selling Web hosting
and data services, which Intel will start marketing later this
year, according to Robby Swinnen, worldwide director of the ISP
program at Intel, as well as the company’s growing networking
line.”
“…ISPs will also become an important market for generic
“white box” servers manufactured by Intel… servers will run
Microsoft’s Windows NT, but also Red Hat’s Linux variant and
Solaris…”
“Rich Green, vice president of the Solaris products group at
Sun, said Intel will position Windows and Linux as the low-end
products, and Solaris will be positioned at the high end.”
