| QUOTE ("The Register") | Sun Microsystems: big fish, shrinking pond

Sun Microsystems has launched a new migration plan to steal away users of Hewlett-Packard's Tru64 Unix AlphaServer systems. Sun is trying to win over customers that HP acquired along with Compaq, many of whom Compaq originally inherited from Digital Equipment Corporation in 1998.
Sun has been planning its move on HP for some time, but delayed its HP Away program (which seeks to entice AlphaServer users to Sun's Sparc-based servers running Solaris) after SCO Group's termination of IBM's Unix license gave it an easier target to aim at. |
