“Linuxcare’s earlier moves to hire open-source programming gurus
have paid off; the start-up has signed several deals to help
storage companies prepare their products for the world of
Linux.”
“On Thursday, Linuxcare announced deals with Hewlett-Packard,
Network Appliance, Maxtor, Tricord and SGI. Each deal is worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the company, said Dave Sifry,
co-founder and chief technology officer. The deals are either new
or recently completed.”
“The deals are critical to the San Francisco start-up’s survival
amid the general tech downturn and the evaporation of Linux hype.
Linuxcare has even been considering a consolidation with Turbolinux
to stay afloat. San Francisco start-up’s survival amid the general
