“Motorola Computer Group (MCG), a division of Motorola,
…announced major moves into the Linux business market this week
at LinuxWorld in San Jose… …disclosed what it calls a Unified
Linux Strategy, ‘that will provide its OEM (original
equipment manufacturer) customers with a broad selection of
Linux-based platforms, open source software, service and support,
training, and integration services’…”
“As part of its first Linux-based offerings, MCG will introduce
the emS Series for telecommunications,office and industrial
networking applications. Additionally, a featured product of the
newly announced strategy is the SLX Series network appliance, aimed
at Internet, intranet and extranet networking applications.”
“Unlike many of the other larger computer companies that have
given Linux a vote of confidence — which include Dell, HP, IBM,
Intel and Oracle — MCG is moving on the embedded devices
market, bringing to it the power of cost-effective benefits of
open-source, and cutting a unique presence in the consumer
market.”
