IBM will take aim at Sun Microsystems Monday with the launch of
two new midrange servers -- the deskside p620 and rack-mounted p660
-- as part of its overall strategy to catch up to Sun, which leads
the U.S. in UNIX server market share. It also will open up things a
bit in the UNIX market by introducing its AIX 5L, which is primed
for Linux, in an effort to gain an edge over the closed systems of
its competitors.
